alleged theft of N500,000.

Agency of Nigeria in Dutse on Thursday that the suspect was arrested
on Wednesday in Kiyawa Local Government Area of the state.

residing in Jahun Local Government Area, adding that it was a
contribution by some of the residents, which was kept in the woman’s
custody.

N250,000 was recovered from him.
Gidado said that investigation into the matter was continuing.
