Bandits’ caregiver, kidnapper explain divine arrest, fate
Murtala Umar has been arrested in the Danmusa Local Government Area of Katsina for providing drugs and medical services to bandits in the area.
The 34-year-old runs a patent medicine store at Tashar Yar Alewa, and has been servicing his criminal clients shot or sick over the years.
According to Katsina State Police Command, SP. Isah Gambo, who paraded the suspect at the state police headquarters on Monday, the suspect confessed to aiding the bandits by providing health services to them.
“I studied at the College of Health and Technology in Kankia and I manage a chemist at Tashar Yar Alewa. The bandits from time to time come to my shop carrying guns to seek my help concerning the health of their members and they pay me in return.
“I used to oblige them for fear of being attacked but I am regretting my actions now,” Murtala said.
Similarly, the police command paraded one Ibrahim Sama’ila also known as ‘Yellow.’
“There is no use denying I have been involved in kidnapping, cow rustling, stealing and other crimes. So, it is not an allegation. That is how Allah destined it to be for me,” Yellow confessed.
