Four days after he renounced his earlier repentance and returned to the forest, Auwal Daudawa, best known for his role in the abduction of the 300 schoolboys in Katsina State, has been killed in a rival fight according to a Daily Trust citing credible sources.
The source said Daudawa was shot dead Friday evening during a gun duel with a rival gang at Dumburum forest, located between Zurmi Local Government in Zamfara State and Batsari Local Government in Katsina State.
Confirming the report, Zamfara’s Commissioner for Security and Home Affairs, Abubakar Dauran, said Daudawa was killed after he killed somebody and rustled his cattle.
“After he swore by the Qur’an never to go back to his old ways, we heard that he went back under the guise of going to attend wedding of his relatives but he instead resumed his illegal activities.
“We heard that he killed someone and attempted to rustled his cattle but the other people in the forest rose up to him and killed him in the process,” he said.
