Though the time of death was not stated, Aruwan said his death was confirmed by security agencies and human intelligence networks, which also stated that criminals from the rival sides were also killed, including some of Kachalla’s lieutenants.
A statement signed by Aruwan on Monday stated that a clash over a large herd of rustled cattle had triggered the fatal confrontation between the two rival groups in a forest around the boundaries of Kajuru and Chikun Local Government Areas of Kaduna Central Senatorial District.
He said while Kachalla was being pursued, security agents had arrested three members of his gang including Tukur Usman, Shehu Bello and Mustapha Mohammed in April 2020.
