Men of Operation Safe Heaven; the multi security task force maintaining peace in Plateau, Southern Kaduna and parts of Bauchi State have apprehended Bawa Nabiki, the herder indicted in a Daily Trust investigation published on Saturday.
Bawa Nabiki, popularly known as Gwaska, from Ikulu community in Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State was arrested on Saturday afternoon. The arrest came a few hours after a Daily Trust investigation on Saturday indicted Bawa for shooting a farmer in 2022.
In the Daily Trust investigation, Bawa’s father, Nabiki Mohammed had confirmed that he sold 10 cows to settle the matter with security agents after which his son was released.
However, residents of Ikulu community yesterday described Bawa as a known criminal that has escaped justice for a long time.
