Bandit kingpin, Kachalla Harisu, and 10 of his gang members have been killed in an internal clash among rival factions in the dense forests between Safana and Dutsin-Ma Local Government Areas of Katsina State.
Intelligence sources confirmed to Zagazola Makama that the bloody confrontation occurred in the early hours of Tuesday following a disagreement over ransom sharing and territorial control.
“Kachalla Harisu and his men had been at odds with another faction over recent ransom collections and leadership structure. The dispute escalated into a shootout that left him and 10 of his loyalists dead,”one sources said.
The late Harisu had been on the radar of security agencies for years, linked to a string of deadly attacks, mass kidnappings, and cattle rustling operations across several communities in Katsina and neighbouring Zamfara states.
