Suspected Lakurawa, Mamudawa terrorists arrested in Kebbi
Police in Kebbi State have arrested 12 suspected criminals, including alleged members of the Lakurawa, Mamudawa and Boko Haram groups, over offences ranging from terrorism and kidnapping to armed robbery and illegal possession of firearms.
The Commissioner of Police in Kebbi, Umar Hadejia, disclosed this while briefing journalists at the command’s headquarters in Birnin Kebbi.
Hadejia said the suspects are currently in police custody and will be prosecuted upon the conclusion of investigations.
Among those arrested are three suspected Mamudawa and Boko Haram members identified as Muhammadu Bandi, Aliyu Abubakar and Muhammadu Abubakar.
According to the police commissioner, preliminary investigations linked the suspects to movements around Illo on June 4, 2026, when an attack resulted in the death of three officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC.
The police also arrested Murtala Sani, a resident of Zazzagawa village, for allegedly supplying food items and drinks to suspected Lakurawa terrorists.
In a separate operation, operatives of the command arrested Faruku Muhammed for the alleged rape of a 10-year-old girl.
Hadejia said the command has intensified patrols and tactical deployments across identified flashpoints in the state as part of efforts to maintain security and protect residents.
