Tuesday, November 25, 2025 - Notorious bandit leader Mustapha Babaro has reportedly imposed a N50m levy on Yargoje and other communities in Kankara Local Government Area Katsina State.
According to security analyst and journalist Bakatsine,
residents said Babaro issued a stern warning to villages on Saturday, November
22, saying that failure to pay the levy within the set deadline will have
repercussions.
“If this can happen in an LGA that held two peace parleys
with bandits in less than 3 months, what kind of truce are local authorities in
Katsina State actually reaching and how effective is it in protecting communities?”
Bakatsine queried.
Recall that Babro was among the high-profile bandit leaders
that attended the peace dialogue conveyed by the leaders of Faskari LGA on
Sunday, September 14, 2025 in a bid to bring an end to the relentless k!llings,
kidnappings in the area.
According to security analyst Zagazola Makam, Babaro was
believed to have spearheaded the recent brutal attack on a mosque in Mantau
village, Malumfashi LGA, where 32 innocent worshippers were tragically k!lled
and many injured.
Babaro has been terrorising the Kankara and Malumfashi areas,
Zagazola added.
Babaro appeared at the meeting sporting a military camouflage
jungle hat and brandishing an automatic rifle.
