The security sources disclosed that, concealed in an unnamed blue car the arrested men were travelling in were 15 AK 103 rifles, 15 magazines and 1,434 rounds of 7.62 mm live ammunition.
Days after the arrests, another member of the arms courier syndicate, identified as Alhaji Adamu also known as Gado Banufe, known to be supplying arms around the Kebbi axis, was arrested in Yauri, Kebbi State.
The security sources disclosed that preliminary investigations established that the five men served as arms couriers to the gunmen who carried out the November 2025 attacks on the Catholic boarding school in Papiri.
Dozens of gunmen on motorcycles had in the wee hours of November 21, 2025, stormed the Catholic primary and secondary boarding school, rounding up students and teachers at gunpoint.

More than a month after the attack, on December 21, 2025, the federal government and Niger state officials confirmed the rescue and safe return of the remaining 130 captives, with government officials confirming that not a single pupil remained in captivity.

One thing is to arrest and another thing is what happens next. Next thing we will hear is that they have been rehabited.
ReplyDeleteYou have also heard of them being tried and sentenced under this administration. This is not the time for your professional negativity please. Your chronic complaining has not done anything to improve Nigeria

ReplyDeleteThe first photo shows a face completely without remorse, and that person would do it again if they could.
ReplyDeleteThose ppl are soulless beings. They have the bodies of humans but a hollow interior.
These are not your brothers and sisters needing redirection or whatever excuse people make for them. The society is only safe when they are lifeless or behind bars for life.
