The woman who was caught earlier this week carrying 550 rounds of AK-47 ammunition has admitted that she was paid N50,000 each time she went to transfer the ammo to bandits in Katsina State. On June 23, 2024, Aisha Abubakar, a 25-year-old resident of Kubwa, Abuja, was detained by the Kaduna State Police Command while traveling to Katsina State along the Zaria-Kaduna route. She talked to reporters on Thursday while being paraded with other alleged criminals at the Police Command headquarters.

“The police took me into custody while I had ammunition.” Wawo was the one who initially delivered a bag of fertilizer to a commercial driver so that he could deliver it to Katsina. On my third journey to Dan Musa, I was detained, even though on my second visit I went there myself and handed the goods. She said, “I received N50,000 for each trip. She claimed that because she had never opened the fertilizer that had been handed to her, she was unaware of its contents.
The suspect was apprehended with 550 rounds of live AK-47 ammo, according to commissioner Ali Audu Dabigi. She had gathered the ammunition from a man named Muhammad (unknown surname) in Loko, Nassarawa State. She also indicated two additional suspects, he said, who gave her the stuff.
