Police operatives in Katsina State have arrested Aminu Hassan, a 25-year-old resident of Dundubus, Daja LGA, who is suspected of financing armed bandits operating in Danmusa LGA and its surrounding areas.

The suspect was arrested with two pairs of military uniforms concealed in a black polythene bag during a routine patrol along the Yantumaki and Kankara highway on November 19, 2024.

The spokesperson Katsina Police Command, ASP Abubakar Sadiq disclosed the arrest in a statement on Tuesday. He also revealed that subsequent investigations led to the arrest of three additional suspects: Lawal M Ahmad (29), Isma’il Dalhatu (24), and Shafi’u Adamu (28).
