Members of the Vigilante group have eliminated a major bandit leader in Zamfara State, Kachalla Sani Black.

The vigilantes also recovered two AK-47 rifles, an undisclosed amount of cash, and a PKT machine gun.
The killing of the bandit leader, who operated at Chabi, Dan Sadau area of Maru Local Government Area, was made known by PR Nigeria.
The platform added that Sani- Black was a notorious bandit who terrorized communities and commuters in Northern Zamfara, while his boys carried out attacks in Kaduna, Niger, and Kebbi States.

He was said to have commanded over 150 armed followers and was responsible for attacks on Maru, Gusau, Tsafe, and other local government areas in Zamfara State. He also trained some of his boys not only in abductions but raping women.
