A notorious bandits kingpin, Ibrahim Salihu, known as “Giwa,” has admitted to the killing of approximately 20 security personnel including police officers, soldiers, and local vigilantes in Zamfara State.

“I have killed approximately 20 persons. Three are police and Army while the rest are local vigilantes,” Salihu disclosed this when he was arrested and interrogated by the police in the state.

Salihu acknowledged being trained in firearms by leaders associated with the infamous kingpin Alhaji Shingi, detailing his use of an AK47 rifle in carrying out deadly operations.

“Our leaders have taught me how to handle the AK47,” he stated, shedding light on the structured nature of his criminal activities.

The operational base of Salihu’s group, he revealed, is situated in Zamfara State, specifically within the Birnin Magaji local government area.

Despite his criminal background, Salihu shared personal hardships, saying, “Both my parents are still alive. Presently even what they will eat has become a problem,” hinting at possible motivations behind his actions.

Discussing his group’s kidnapping activities, Salihu admitted, “We only kidnapped those who I know can pay ransom,” underscoring financial motives in his criminal endeavours.

In a surprising plea for redemption, Salihu expressed a desire for governmental assistance in practicing Islam and securing rehabilitation.

“I want the government to assist and take me to where I will be able to practise Islam and worship my God,” he appealed. “I want the government to also take care of rehabilitation,” he added, suggesting a wish to turn away from his violent past.

However, Salihu acknowledged the risks associated with his crimes. “If the police hand me over to the family of those I killed, they will not spare me and I don’t want to be killed, I want to repent.”
