A notorious bandit commander, Dogo Maikasuwa also known as ‘Dogo Maimillion’, has been killed by security operatives in Kaduna State.
The State Commissioner of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, disclosed this in a statement on Friday, 11 November, 2022.
He shared a blurred photograph of the neutralized bandit leader known for terrorizing communities in Kaduna State.
Aruwan said the development was made known in an operational feedback from security agencies.
“After an era of terrorizing citizens and evading security forces, the Kaduna State Government can authoritatively report that the notorious bandit commander known as ‘Dogo Maikasuwa’ has met his end,” the statement read.
“Painstaking investigations revealed atrocities he carried out with impunity in hard-to-reach locations.
“Dogo Maikasuwa, also known as ‘Dogo Maimillion’ led series of attacks and kidnappings of citizens plying the Kaduna-Kachia Road, and in communities within Chikun and Kajuru LGAs. He was one of the deadliest bandits leading other elements in terrorizing citizens of these general areas.
“According to human intelligence sources, he was always dressed in green camouflage military fatigues and wielding an AK47 rifle. Such was his appearance during the duel with security forces which ultimately consumed him.”
