The Zamfara State government has denied involvement in the payment of N800m for the release of abducted schoolboys in Kankara Local

The Guardian gathered that leader of the bandits, Auwalun Daudawa, who surrendered some weapons after he claimed he had repented last Monday, was paid N30m to do so.Auwalun Daudawa and his gang, on December 11, 2020, invaded Government Science Secondary School, Kankara around 11 pm, shooting indiscriminately to scare residents. The operation led to the disappearance of over 344 students.

However, sources familiar with the negotiation between the top commander of the bandits and the state government, said he was paid millions of naira as compensation for some of his gang members killed by security operatives.The source said: “This is how Kankara schoolboys’ kidnappers got paid through a former caretaker chairman of Jibia Local Government Area of Katsina State, one Haruna Musa Mota.

When told by Mota that some government officials claimed N800m was given to the group, Daudawa exclaimed: “You said what? N800m? How many millions again? Who said that? So, they paid N30m and claimed N800m? Now, they have stopped cattle rearing.”Responding, the former council boss said, “I will send you the speech and I will advise you speak out so that citizens will know you did what you did for peace and what they paid you was N30m. This is not fair at all.
