The Katsina State Commissioner for Home Security, Dr. Nasir Babangida Mu'azu, described Major Mohammed's death as a great and painful loss, considering his immense contributions to the fight against banditry. The state government had recently awarded him a cash prize of N2 million for his bravery in neutralizing fighters belonging to the notorious bandit, Modi-Modi.

Residents of Kankara and surrounding areas have also paid tribute to the late commander, describing him as a courageous and dedicated soldier who helped rescue many kidnapped victims and responded swiftly to calls for help. They hope that the circumstances surrounding his death will be thoroughly investigated to establish if there was no involvement of saboteurs.

The state government and residents are mourning his loss, but also celebrating his martyrdom and the impact he made in the fight against criminality.

The area where he was killed, Malali village, is reportedly under the control of bandits, and security agents often relied on reinforcement from the Maraban Dan'Ali camp, which Major Mohammed commanded. His death is a significant loss to the community, and residents are praying for Allah to forgive him and for the new commander to emulate his courage and bravery.
