i. Attack on troops of Nigerian Navy and dispossessed them of four (4) Rifles at Alloma village on 4 March, 2022. Though, the Firearms were later returned to the Navy following high-powered intervention.

ii.

iii.
Invasion of Egane Fulani settlement, burning of 213 huts, rustled 122 cows on 25 December, 2022.

IV.
Assault on the Lord’s Chosen Church, Ejule on 29 January 2023 for disturbing his Hotel with their Service, during which Joy Abuh, a worshipper sustained gunshot injury on her left hand.

V.
He was also responsible for seven (7) Kidnappings along Itobe-Anyigba highway from 5th to 28th May 2023.

b. Security agencies must go after Kabir Bala and arrest him immediately for prosecution.

c. All known agents of Kabir Bala in criminal activities must be apprehended to face the law.

d. All illegal arms in the possession of criminals in that area should be recovered for peace of the State.

e. t Operations should be set up comprising the Nigerian Army, Nigerian Navy, Nigeria Police, DSS, Civil Defence to go after Kabir Bala and his gang to arrest them and recover the arms in their possession.

Today, 22nd June 2023, at about 0430hrs in pursuit of the above, the Kabir Bala and his gang on sighting the t Security team opened fire on them and started shooting sporadically. The team engaged the hoodlums; the said Kabir Bala was neutralized in the process while other of his gang escaped with varying degrees of injuries,
Items recovered from his premises include;

Why should you even pardon a criminal?

If you like go to church, if you like change to muslim, if you like turn traditional worshipper, if you like turn atheist, if you like turn whatever you want turn into, when you time come you will surely go down and nothing will save u.

Can a pardon be revoked like a land title document?

Why wait since 2019

Nigerian police and this quote all the time.

He fell out with the powers above him. Same people that were using him for sh*tty racketeering and political destabilization.

They flicked the switch on him without time to recoup.

No RIP monster. Same fate befall your ilks who take lives cos of wealth and powers. Who oppress people of lesser status cos they could. RIH to y'all. Roast In Hell

Pipefitter:
Why wait since 2019

He was forgiven not to sin again but return to sin and the law enforcement take charge to clear the garbage

Hes balls became too big ... So they castrated him.

Imagine the type of people he would implicate if captured alive ? Emefele is still singing in custody like this....

Very true. Those guys are usually foot soldiers for the dirty work of politicians.

Reminds of Gana in Benue state. After being used by politicians for years, the guy turned rouge and was eventually taken out.

Police and their cooked up stories❗️❗️😁



I suspect that Mr white lion, gov Bello was using the guy as political thug and they fell out and then authorized the armed forces to
takeout the known criminal ...

Africa gang leaders rely so much on charms. ...and e dey fail them steady

Why do they always allow “other flee with various degree of injuries”😏😏

Nigerian police has been using this copy and paste format since time immemorial, you allowed an injured armed hoodlum to escape when you could have chased him down to his grave or arrest him alive, I will never understand this

shortgun:
Can a pardon be revoked like a land title document?

This is one of the guys Bello empowered them to kill, maimed, this man killed do all manners of thing, this man burnt someone alive inside her house , which kind of prerogative of Mercy can be given to such person ? This man went into trouble with Bello because he said he would not another Ibira man as a governor... Bello would pay for his attrocity no matter how long it takes.

If you have seen were they arrested someone. You will know why they use this statement. They will say if you do anyhow, they will go you down and cover it up. Don't be surprise, the guy didn't even attack them. And for them to have given him pardon earlier, means he was working with them. Untill he changed... Nigeria is just a theatre zone

hakeemhakeem:

He was forgiven in 2018 but burnt someone alive in 2019, so why not revoke it since then, the government is complicit in the atrocities since 2019 because they enabled it

That man was once a thug under yahaya Bello, he fell out with Bello simply because he refused to Usman ododo who is Bello's annointed candidate and pledged for Murtala Ajaka the kogi East most popular candidate of the SDP. Anyways, who lives by the sword shall die by it all of them are evil men.

Chaiii

So bello wicked like this?

Yahaya Bello gave him state pardon in 2018 to use him for his re-elections in 2019 and he worked diligently for him via thuggery and all. The guy said he won't Yahaya Bello's anointed candidate - his cousin brother, in the person of Ododo and that's why he's a criminal that should be killed and not pardoned anymore.

He's vocal in challenging Yahaya's candidate, that's all. He was not killed because he's a criminal. Yahaya used him to kill.

Cooked stories, most reason why you should always avoid police in this country. He publicly declared he's not ing bello anymore. They killed his wife and children.. bello killed that pregnant woman mentioned in the stories. Ask very well..
I think people should stop looking for peace in Nigeria.. if you get money just japa
