“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.
She claimed not to know the content of the fertilizer back given to her because she never opened it.
The police 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.
Dabigi noted that investigations were ongoing.
