Kwaire Bello, a suspected bandit who fled from the agency’s custody in Sokoto State, has been recaptured by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
Muhammad Dada, the NSCDC Commandant in charge of the state, verified the news to journalists on Friday in Sokoto, adding that the suspect had more than 200 bandits working for him.
He said: “We did not realise that he is diabolical and can disappear at any moment, and unfortunately, he disappeared in our hands after his arrest.
“But with the aid of God, we were able to re-arrest him.
Dada stressed that Bello was a high profile bandit who terrorised people of Tureta, Dange-Shuni and parts of Silame and Binji local government areas of the state.
The commandant added: “He was arrested in Silame Local Government in the bush around 4:00 a.m. during an operation I personally led.
“Therefore, we believe that his arrest is a great success and if more investigation is conducted, he might be linked to many developments because of his influence in the bush.”
