Wanted bandit kingpin, Ado Aleru, holds peace meeting with community leaders, Army in Katsina (Photos)

A wanted bandit kingpin, Ado Aleru, who has been on the wanted list of Nigerian security forces for several years was reported to have held a peace meeting with community leaders and some top officers of the Nigerian Army in Danmusa Local Government Area of Katsina State on Saturday.

According to a security analyst in the state, Dan Katsina, Aleru who has been linked to many high profile abductions, killings and cattie rustling, called for the parley aimed at fostering peaceful coexistence between Fulani herders and other communities, and was attended by personnel of the Nigerian Army, community leaders, and several bandit groups, including Aleru’s faction.

The bandit leader was said to have attended the peace meeting with many of his foot soldiers who were fully armed despite the presence of the military officers.

Writing on the meeting on his X handle, the security expert said:

“The notorious bandits kingpin, Ado Aleru, who remains on the wanted list of Nigerian security forces, has again surfaced publicly, this time leading a peace meeting


“Despite his status as a fugitive, Aleru was seen actively participating in the discussions and addressing the gathering.

“The peace meeting was held with bandits in Danmusa Local Government Area, where Ado Aleru, who has been declared highly wanted, was seen giving a speech about measures to be taken between the Fulani and other communities to ensure peaceful coexistence.

“This isn’t the first time Ado Aleru is seen holding peace talks with communities and the government but he will again be seen attacking innocent communities.

“The same Ado Aleru was conferred with a traditional title in Zamfara during Bello Matawalle’s administration who is also the current Minister of State for Defence.

“The peace parley was held between residents of Dan-Musa and bandits in Dan-Musa LGA, Katsina State.

“Attendees included Nigerian Army, community leaders and several bandits groups including notorious leader Ado Aleru.”

Aliero was declared wanted by the Katsina State Police Command in 2019 with a N5 million bounty placed on his head after he reportedly orchestrated a deadly raid on Kadisau, a community in Faskari Local Government Area of the state where over 52 people were killed.
