Bandit lynchpin Kurako says he’s only minding his business
Surajo Mamman, 50, has killed many and kidnapped as many for ransom, and he has done that for donkey years in Rugu, the forest bordering Katsina and Zamfara.
For all the years he carried out those acts, he felt like he was minding his own business.
“Actually, I didn’t really see anything wrong with my involvement in the act until I was arrested,” he told newsmen September 29 at the Katsina police command headquarters.
“But my eyes are opened now.”
Kutaku, as he is known in the criminal world, is the second in command to Sani Muidinge, a badass on the government wanted list.
He further confessed to have participated in so many attacks, kidnapping and cattle rustling in villages at Dan Musa, Safana, Dutsinma and Batsari LGA of the state.
He said he couldn’t even count the number of attacks, victims, dead or alive.
He is out of luck now.
Many of the bandits actually are, since the state government shut down supplies of food fuel, drugs and other sustenance coming from their collaborators.
