Two female gun transporters to a kidnap syndicate have been arrested and paraded alongside 32 other criminals at the Force Headquarters, Abuja.
The syndicate specializes in kidnapping and robbery activities around Lafia and Abuja axis.
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.
The Police also paraded another criminal gang, specializing in car theft in Kano, Kaduna, and Jigawa States, and later transporting them to neighbouring countries of Niger, Cameroon and Chad, for rebranding and subsequent selling.
The syndicate capabilities include two-car jammers, which aid in blocking all forms of cellular transmission and deactivate vehicle tracking devices, in order to avoid detection.
