The suspects, Aisha Ibrahim and Hafsat Adamu’s role, was to traffic guns and deliver to the point of operation for the criminal gang.
“We were given guns to deliver sometimes from Lafia to Kaduna which I delivered successfully to one Babangida, a member of the gang,” Aisha, 30, said.
Hafsat, admitted to transporting guns from Kujama junction to Kaduna, which she hid inside a box as directed by one Suleiman, a member of the syndicate.
