The police operative has arrested the alleged Bandit Lakurawa and found an AK-49 rifle with ammunition in the Sokoto state.

Commissioner of State Police, Tn. Ahmed Musa, revealed this in a statement issued on Thursday by a spokesman for the State Police Command, Ahmad Rufai.

He said the operations of the anti-classical command unit were acting decisively on credible intelligence and captured a Buba Magaji from Julirkol Village in the Silame region in the state on Sunday.

CP said: “Its arrest is based on specific tip-offs that identify it as a close colleague from the Lakurawa Bandit syndicate, a group that is famous for terrorizing people in several regional government areas in the state.
