Lawmaker Leads Delegates To Negotiate With Terrorists, Rescue 45 Kidnap Victims After ‘Peace Deal’
SaharaReporters learnt that the release, which took place last week Friday, came following a renewed “peace agreement” between local leaders and the bandits, aimed at ending prolonged hostilities in the region.
Engr. Abdurrahman Ahmad Kandarawa, a member of the Katsina State House of Assembly representing Bakori Local Government Area, has led the recovery of 45 individuals kidnapped by terrorists for an extended period.
SaharaReporters learnt that the release, which took place last week Friday, came following a renewed “peace agreement” between local leaders and the bandits, aimed at ending prolonged hostilities in the region.
In a video obtained by SaharaReporters, one of the bandits involved in the abduction revealed that the agreement was honoured due to promises made by both sides.
The terrorists emphasised that, having fulfilled their commitments, the security agencies and government should not escalate the situation, allowing their people to return safely to the town to resume normal life.
Hon. Abdurrahman, who spearheaded the negotiation, drew parallels to international peace efforts, citing the Gaza-Israel agreement.
“Even in the world, peace agreements are made to ensure coexistence,” he said. “There is nothing wrong in making peace to secure a lasting and peaceful future for our people.”

Earlier, SaharaReporters reported that terrorists in the early hours of Monday stormed the Maga Comprehensive Girls’ Secondary School in Kebbi State, abducting an unspecified number of female students and killing at least one staff member.
A school guard was also injured during the attack, which occurred around 5:52am.
The attackers invaded the school compound while the students were preparing for morning routines, launching their assault with sporadic gunfire.
SaharaReporters also gathered that the gunmen not only abducted several female students but also left a trail of fear and chaos in their wake.
However, residents noted that the terrorists have not gone far and are urging the Federal and State governments to take urgent action to rescue the girls.
SaharaReporters earlier reported that terrorists launched a deadly attack on Rogun Village in Kpada District of Patigi Local Government Area, Kwara State, killing two security operatives.
A security source told SaharaReporters on Monday that the incident occurred late Sunday night when the terrorists, locally dubbed as bandits, stormed the police outpost in Rogun and opened fire on officers on duty.
According to the source, the attackers engaged the security personnel in a fierce gun duel that lasted several minutes.
By the time the shooting subsided, two security operatives — a police constabulary and a vigilante officer — had been confirmed dead.
