The Zamfara State Police Command, yesterday declared notorious bandit leader, Ado Aleru who was conferred with the title of Sarkin Fulani by the Emir of Yandoto on Saturday in the state, wanted over alleged criminal activities including the killing of no fewer than 100 villagers.
This came as the state government suspended the Emir of Yandoton Daji, Aliyu Marafa, for conferring a traditional title on the wanted terror kingpin.
The Police Public Relations officer, PPRO, of the state Police Command, Gambo Isa, said anyone who apprehended or gave information leading to the arrest of the bandit kingpin, would get N5million, saying the wanted bandit had killed over 100 villagers in Katsina State including women and children.
The Command’s spokesman said Ado Aleru was among bandits the command was looking for because he had killed and kidnapped several victims.
According to him,” We are looking for Aleru because of the acts of terrorism he committed in the town of Kadiso where he killed over 100 locals. We were together with former Police Commissioner, Sanusi Buba and journalists at Kadiso where we saw how he killed people including women and children, as well as destroying food items and animals.
“This prompted the Katsina Police Command to issue a statement that whosoever apprehends Aleru, either dead or alive, would be given N5 million. This matter still stands. We are looking for him and anyone who sees him should report to us. We are charging him for committing acts of terrorism in Kadiso, and in other communities also. He had also, kidnapped people and collected ransom.”
