Woman arrested with ammunition meant to be delivered to Bandits revealed how much she was paid for the assignment
The woman who was arrested by Security operatives with 550 Rounds of AK47 Ammunition earlier in the week has confessed that she was paid N50,000 per trip to deliver the ammunition to bandits in Katsina State.
Aisha Abubakar, 25 years old from Kubwa, Abuja, was arrested by the Kaduna State Police Command along Zaria-Kaduna highway on her way to Katsina State on 23 June 2024.
She spoke to newsmen at the Police Command headquarters where she was paraded alongside other suspected criminals on Thursday.
“I was arrested by the police with ammunition. It was Wawo that first brought a bag of fertilizer to give to a commercial driver to take it to Katsina. The second trip I went there myself and delivered the item but I was arrested on my third trip to Dan Musa. I was paid N50,000 per trip,” she said.
According to her, she didn’t know the content of the fertilizer bag given to her because she never opened it.
The commissioner, Ali Audu Dabigi, said the suspect was arrested with 550 rounds of AK47 live ammunition, which she had collected from a man named Muhammad (surname unknown) from Loko, Nassarawa State.
According to him, she also mentioned two other suspects that gave her the items who had already been arrested in Abuja by the police.
He added that investigations were ongoing.
