“Chile Maidoki told the police that he used to sleep at burial ground yards in Kano City just to evade detection by security personnel.

“He is now appealing to the Police and the good people of the State to forgive him, that he has repented and is now ready to work with the Police to promote sustainable peace and development in the state,” Kiyawa revealed.

He is therefore not to be stigmatised by members of the public.

“However, the remaining two, with N100,000:00 bounty on each for clues or information leading to their arrests, are still wanted.

They are Abba Burakita of Dorayi Quarters and Hantar Daba of Kwanar Disu.

“Prospective beneficiaries of these bounties with credible information on their whereabouts are required to contact the nearest Police Station,” the statement added.
