A notorious bandits' kingpin commonly called Dangote has been killed in a gun battle with Kachalla Dankarami's camp along the Dumbunrun Forest between Batsari and Jibia local government areas of Katsina State.

Dangote was killed with his two siblings namely Lama Na Balewa and Usman Yellow during the fight that reportedly broke out between the two camps.

A credible source who confirmed the incident explained that some foot soldiers belonging to the camp of Kachalla Dankarami by the weekend rustled cattle that belonged to the Dangote's relations, and this didn't go down well when Dangote's brother alongside 10 others advanced to recover the cattle but was killed while others escaped with gunshot wounds.
