A ‘bandit kingpin’, known as Jabi Ruwa has been arrested by Troops of Operation Hadarin Daji.
Ruwa, was arrested alongside some suspected gang members in Dambala village of Sokoto State, while a separate operation in Zamfara State left one bandit killed.

Acting on credible information, the troops raided bandits’ enclaves across Sokoto, Kebbi, Katsina and Zamfara states, resulting in the arrest of some suspected members of Ruwa’s gang taking refuge in Dambala village of Sokoto State.
The troops of Forward Operating Base (FOB) Gwadabawa and Troops of Raka in Sokoto, in conjunction with local guides, immediately mobilised to Dambala village, where Jabi Ruwa and four other of his members were apprehended, the source revealed.
