Notorious bandit Nasiru Kachalla, others killed as bandits battle each other
Security agencies have confirmed to the Kaduna State Government the killing of a notorious bandit, Nasiru Kachalla.
Kachalla, who has been on the run for masterminding several criminal acts, including kidnappings, killings, cattle rustling and banditry, was killed in a clash between his gang and a rival group of bandits.
Human intelligence networks confirmed that criminals from the rival sides were also killed, including some of Kachalla’s lieutenants.
The clash occurred in a forest around the boundaries of Kajuru-Chikun local government areas of Kaduna Central Senatorial District.
A dispute over a large herd of rustled cattle is said to have triggered the fatal confrontation.
Kachalla and his gang were involved in several crimes, including kidnappings, killings and banditry on the Kaduna-Abuja road and also in the Chikun/Kajuru general areas.
He was the mastermind of the 9th January 2020 kidnapping of seminarians of Good Shepherd Major Seminary, Kaduna, and the 24th January 2020 kidnapping of Mrs Bola Ataga and her two children.
The criminals later killed one of the seminarians, Michael Nnadi & Mrs. Ataga before releasing her children.
Kachalla’s criminal gang was also responsible for the kidnap of 6 students & 2 teachers of Engravers College, in Kakau village of Chikun local govt on 3rd October 2019.
While Kachalla was being pursued, security agents arrested three members of his gang, Tukur Usman, Shehu Bello and Mustapha Mohammed in April 2020 as you can see in the attached picture.
Kachalla’s image is also attached, clad in a jacket and a winter cap.
In another development, troops repelled an attempted attack by armed bandits along the Galadimawa-Zaria road in Giwa local government area.
The bandits blocked the road for some minutes, shooting sporadically at motorists plying the route.
A combined team of the 4 Battalion and Field Engineers Regiment of the Nigerian army mobilized to the location. The road was cleared and normalcy was restored, with no kidnapping or harm to motorists.
Troops and police are currently dominating the area with patrols.
Furthermore, the government was informed of an incident in a forest located in the Western part of Chikun local govt, where armed bandits opened fire on some hunters.
Security agencies are carrying out investigations to ascertain the exact location as well as fatalities if any.
Citizens will be briefed on the operational feedback as it emerges.
In the meantime, Governor Nasir El-Rufai has appealed to Tsohon Gaya, Sabon Gaya and other communities with members missing in the hunting expedition to remain calm.

This bandit & his gang has been responsible for the kidnap of 2 of our district heads. They tortured one to death. They also collected ransom on the other one but refused to release him. We don't even know if he is alive or not as ever since they collected ransom contacts ceased.
So this should be some sort of immense respite for the people of KDS and their neighbors in NGS. May ALLAH SWT continue to confuse them, amen. May HE also make their disagreement be the source of their destruction, amen. If they have been eluding the eagle eyes of the authorities
they cannot run away from GOD and the punishment they will get thereafter in this world and indeed at hereafter.
Rot in hell Kachalla, rot in hell!

Here is a simple remedy available to everyone to never suffer from prostate diseases. Those who already suffer from it can also try it. It works very well.
Know first that in all men, from 25 years the prostate accumulates toxins due to urine and semen which pass through the urethra. The prostate also participates in the composition of sperm by adding a secretion that is not entirely eliminated from this gland.
When the residual secretions stay there, it participates in its progressive intoxication. This will lead to inflammation, swelling of the gland and its inability to play its role, thus affecting sex life (sexual weakness, premature ejaculation, etc.).
Mr. President @MBuhari this is to further bring to your notice that the incessant rate of armed banditry, kidnapping for ransome as well as cattle rustling in Rafi LGA (Kagara Emirate), Niger State is not only alarming, disturbing but has taken yet another dimension with the
traditional institution as soft targets of attack and kidnapping. As it stands today we have 2 out of 10 of our Districts Head in the den of the kidnappers. One of them for the 2nd time while the order still in captivity despite collecting ransom
but the bandits have refused to release him with his whereabouts presently unknown because they have stopped making any contact. Two days ago, they ransacked a Village Head's house, burnt his 2 vehicles, set a house ablaze and shot dead 2 persons. Only about 2 weeks ago @PoliceNG
