At least 19 suspected terrorists have been declared wanted by the Defence Headquarters (DHQ).
They have also placed a bounty of N5million on each of them.
The names were released by Jimmy Akpor, director of defence information, on Monday.
The wanted terrorists are said to have been terrorising Katsina, Sokoto and Zamfara states.
The DHQ promised to reward anyone who has information that could lead to the arrest of one of the suspected terrorists with the sum of N5 million.
Ado Aliero, a suspected bandit leader, who was turbaned in July 2022 as Sarkin Fulani in Zamfara is one of the wanted terrorists.
Aliero was given the chieftaincy title despite being on the police’s wanted list since 2019.
The chieftaincy title sparked criticism – a development which prompted Bello Matawalle, governor of Zamfara, to suspend the emir who awarded the title to Aliero
Speaking in a documentary released by BBC Africa Eye in July, the self-confessed bandit kingpin said he does not kidnap people, adding that he only kills those who have been kidnapped by his gang members.
He added that his gang invades villages as a form of protest against the government.
