STS Arrests Woman for Concealing AK-47 and Magazines in Sack of Garri
A 30-year-old woman named Hauwa Yusuf has been apprehended by operatives from the Special Tactical Squad (STS) for concealing an AK-47 rifle and four AK magazines within a sack of garri. Yusuf was detained during a routine stop-and-search operation along the Abuja-Kaduna Expressway.
According to Muyiwa Adejobi, the Force spokesperson, Yusuf was brought in for questioning at the STS headquarters in Abuja on Friday.
Adejobi explained that Yusuf admitted to being tasked by a notorious bandit, Aminu Basullube, who is known for his criminal activities in Katsina State. Basullube had instructed her to pick up the firearms in the Danum Madam Camp area of Katsina State.
On August 14, 2024, acting on credible intelligence, STS operatives intercepted Yusuf while she was travelling from Lafia, Nasarawa State, to Katsina State. She was on board a Sienna bus when she was stopped.
A thorough search revealed the AK-47 rifle, which lacked a breach number, and four AK magazines hidden inside the white sack of garri she was carrying.
During the interrogation, Yusuf disclosed that Basullube had orchestrated the delivery of these weapons to her, underscoring the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to combat arms trafficking and criminal activities in the region.
It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
