- She spoke to newsmen at the Police Command headquarters
Aisha Abubakar, who was arrested earlier this week with 550 rounds of AK47 ammunition, has confessed that she was paid N50,000 per trip to deliver the ammunition to bandits in Katsina State.
The 25-year-old from Kubwa, Abuja, was apprehended by the Kaduna State Police Command along the Zaria-Kaduna highway on her way to Katsina State on June 23, 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 given to her because she never opened it.
Commissioner Ali Audu Dabigi stated that 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.
He also mentioned that she identified two other suspects who had given her the items, and they had already been arrested by the police in Abuja.
Investigations are ongoing.
