Dan-Nagala, who has been terrorising Kanoma, Ruwan Dorawa, Binji, Maru, Bungudu communities and some parts of Dansadau district, was said to be critically wounded during the battle in Gandaya-Mai Rairai-Yar Katsina Forest on Monday, a reliable source hinted Daily Trust.
According to the source, most of Dan Nagala’s close lieutenants were killed during the gun battle before the bandits retreated.

“After he was shot at the forest, Dan-Nagala retreated and relocated to Burwaye village in Maru LGA where he is treating his wound. The man is desperately looking for a doctor to remove the bullets from his body.”
Meanwhile, the source confirmed that the attack on Kasuwar Daji village which claimed the lives of two policemen while over 40 people abducted was spearheaded by a notorious bandits’ leader Dan Sadiya.
He alleged that Dan Sadiya might have carried out the attack in revenge for his wife and children who were killed by the Nigerian troops about two weeks ago.
