According to security sources who spoke with Zagazola Makama, the arrest took place on July 3 at approximately 5:45 p.m. in Mangar, Daffo District, following reliable intelligence reports regarding the illegal movement of weapons in the region.
The suspect, identified as 37-year-old Zubairu Ahmed, was stopped by the troops and found carrying one AK-47 rifle, a loaded magazine containing three rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, a motorcycle, two Tecno mobile phones, clothing, and N400 in cash.
