A government official told LEADERSHIP that 15 criminal elements, including a top bandit kingpin named Tambaya, were arrested in the new security clampdown in the area.

The official confided in our correspondent that, “Tambaya was the major mastermind of the recent attack on security forces and vigilante in Gada, Lafiagi. Tambaya and eight others were arrested in one encounter with the security forces, while several of his gang members were eliminated.

“During the operation, we rescued two victims of their criminality and recovered N11million, which is apparently proceeds of crime.”

The source added that the crackdowns were at the instance of the Kwara State government in collaboration with the Office of the National Security Adviser, state security commanders, and local vigilantes.
