The Nasarawa State Police Command has announced the arrest of a 21-year-old suspected female arms runner, Fatima Salish.
According to the police, the lady was arrested while she was going to supply ammunition to terrorists in local government areas known for terror activities.
The Public Relations Officer, Nasarawa State Police Command and a Superintendent of Police, SP Ramhan Nansel, disclosed this to journalists on Thursday in Lafia, the state capital.
Nansel said the arrest followed credible intelligence.
He said Salisu, a native of Funtua in Katsina State, was intercepted in the Azuba area of Lafia.
She was allegedly transporting a large cache of ammunition through Keana and Doma LGAs, en route to deliver the consignment to criminal elements in Katsina State.
“Acting swiftly on the intelligence tip-off, Commissioner of Police, CP Shetima J. Mohammed, ordered the immediate deployment of the Command’s Anti-Kidnapping Unit,” he said.
