Leader of Kankara abductors, Auwalun Daudawa returns to forest 2 months after repentance

Auwal Daudawa, the little known bandit leader in Zamfara State, who became famous for the abduction of over 300 students in neighbouring Katsina State has gone back to the forest, less than three months after his celebrated repentance.

A security source and two other sources close to the bandit confirmed to Daily Trust yesterday that Daudawa has relocated to one of the forests, near the border with Katsina.

The middle-aged bandit organized the mass abduction of the students of Government Secondary School Kankara, on December 12, 2020, the first of such abduction by any criminal group outside Boko Haram in the North-East.
