The Zamfara state Police Command has arrested eight people suspected to be supplying ammunition, military uniforms, motorcycles, and foodstuff to bandits in the state.
Some of the arrested suspects were also said to have successfully negotiated and delivered several sums as ransom from families to the kidnappers, for a commission.
The command’s Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Muhammad Shehu, told newsmen in Gusau that the suspects were arrested by the Police Tactical Squad in Gusau and Tsafe Local Government Areas.
Shehu said five of the suspects specialized in providing information, supplying military camouflage and ammunition to the bandits.
