Reacting, a commenter, Abdallah Muhammad, wrote on his verified X account saying: “My cousin was among, luckily she was among the two that escaped. We’ve since asked her to move to kaduna.”

NAN reports that Dungus Abdulkarim, spokesperson of the command, announced the arrest in a statement on Thursday.

Abdulkarim said the suspects were arrested in possession of a remotely piloted machine gun and that they were making weapons and other items available to bandits in different parts of Zamfara, Kano, Niger, Benue, and Yobe, among others.

The police spokesperson said: “35-year-old Abubakar was nabbed along Karasuwa town after he had taken delivery of a rocket launcher which was hidden in his vehicle on September 14.

“He was arrested driving a Hiace 18-seater bus in Karasuwa, while on a mission to collect the mortar.

“He was intercepted after collecting it. He later implicated one Abubakar Shehu, aka Kurma, 32, of Bare Bare area by Maradun in Zamfara state.

“The first suspect confessed that the second suspect was the courier to bandits in Zamfara, and was trailed and arrested by Yobe police detectives in Maradun.”

The police spokesperson added that the case is currently being investigated.
