Bandits
Tensions are reportedly running high in the camp of notorious bandit leader ‘Najaja’ after his younger brother and top commander, Dan’auta, was killed during a heated altercation with rival commander Dullu on Monday.
The Incident, stemming from an ongoing power struggle, has left the criminal network on edge. Dullu, a powerful commander leading an estimated 400 armed men, has long harboured resentment toward Dan’auta.
Sources suggest that Dullu felt undermined following Najaja’s ascension to power after the death of Halilu Sububu, the former leader of the criminal empire.
Security expert Zagazola Makama hinted that Najaja’s rise to leadership reportedly deepened divisions, with Dullu viewing Dan’auta’s actions as disrespectful and emboldened by his brother’s dominance.
According to him, the fatal confrontation has left the criminal network fractured, sparking fears of potential retaliatory attacks within the group.
Observers believe Najaja may seek retribution for his brother’s death, especially with three other siblings who are also active within his network.
Analysts warn that unless a truce is brokered, escalating tensions between Najaja and Dullu could lead to further bloodshed. (The Guardian)
