The analyst said the defendant’s actions enabled the notorious bandit leader to evade security operatives, leading to his conviction and 20-year prison sentence.

“A Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced Muhammad Sani to 20 years in prison for helping conceal information about notorious bandit leader Kachalla Dan Karami, a move that reportedly enabled him to escape from security operatives.

“This case is a reminder that bandits and armed groups often rely on more than just weapons, they also depend on people willing to protect them from within. The bigger question is; how many more collaborators are still operating unnoticed?,” Bakatsine wrote.
