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.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
She stated that Ghana is not the same as Nigeria and shared that if such issues happen to Ghanaians in South Africa, they will speak up and not keep quiet. She added that they will react.
“Ghana is not like Nigeria and we won’t hesitate to return the stupid favour.”
