A notorious bandit, Sani Dangote, has been reportedly killed by a rival gang. As reported by Daily Truston Tuesday morning, April 9, the incident happened in the early hours of Sunday, April 7, in Dunmurun in Zurmi local government area of Zamfara state.

The slain-wanted bandit leader terrorised sections of Zamfara and Katsina states. He was reportedly killed alongside his two brothers in a gun battle with a bandit gang led by Kachalla Dankarami, aka Goska.

A source said:

“What happened was that one of the boys of Dankarami carted away a flock of sheep belonging to one of Dangote’s siblings, Sale Lamo, and he was trailed by the Dangote gang who retrieved the sheep and killed the boy.

“By then Dankarami was at Rukudawa, he was told about the incident and thus he came after them. By the time he reached Dumburum area, he heard that they had mobilised to fight him, so he waylaid them and pounced on them, killing Dangote, Lamo na Balewa and Usman Yellow.

“The theft of the ewe could just be a trigger.”.
