Peace accord: Bandits release 10 kidnap victims in Katsina

Ten people abducted from Danjanku Village in Malumfashi Local Government Area have regained their freedom after a peace accord brokered between local communities and bandit groups.

The discussion, held on December 26 around 11:00 a.m. in Yantumaki Village, Danmusa Local Government Area, took place under the Operation Safe Corridor initiative.

According to sources, the meeting brought together the Chairman of Malumfashi LGA, traditional rulers, and bandit leaders identified as Munore, Wada Yellow, and Yalmi. Talks centered on restoring peace, ending hostilities, promoting mutual respect, and guaranteeing safe movement for residents.

The parties reportedly agreed to abide by the terms of the accord, which resulted in the release of the 10 kidnapped victims.

Authorities say the situation continues to be monitored to sustain peace and prevent further security incidents in the area.
