A notorious bandit leader, Kachalla Maha, has boasted that he has the ability to kidnap top government officials, including governors.
The terrorist leader also claimed to have deep access to confidential security information, alleging that he receives advance notice of military operations before they are launched.
The bandit kingpin spoke in a recorded audio message that surfaced on Sunday and was shared by verified X user, Abdool Moh.
Maha, in the audio, accused authorities of refusing to release his arrested associates and seized cattle, insisting that the government’s actions had pushed him into escalating violence across affected areas.
He said repeated efforts to secure the release of his men were ignored by authorities, leaving him with no intention of backing down.
“You arrested my men, and I asked for their release. You refused. I promised that I would abduct many people, and I already have targets.
“I asked why my men and Aminu were arrested. Since they were not released, I don’t care if they send thousands of soldiers. I am not tired, and I will not stop until I leave this world. I can kidnap top government officials, even a state governor.
“I swear to Almighty God that all the security forces sent to attack my camp are my boys. They inform me whenever they are coming. I receive information about security strategies, including those involving the President. It is only because I allow them to operate. Otherwise, they would not even be able to use the roads,” he said.
