The Zamfara Police Command has arrested three persons in Birnin
Magaji local government area of the state suspected to be hired
assassins in their attempt to gun down a young man whom they alleged to
have bewitched their friend.
According to the command’s public
relations officer, DSP Sanusi Amiru, the suspected assassins, Nabala
Abdullahi, Jamilu Aliyu and Hamisu Mamuda, are members of the
unauthorised local volunteer vigilante group.
He disclosed that
the suspects were hired by the brother of the young man who allegedly
fell sick after being bewitched by their target victim (name withheld),
and were instructed to shoot down the man if he refused to cross over
the sick person as a necessary measure to ensure his recovery from the
illness.
DSP Amiru said items recovered from the suspects include two locally made pistols, and assorted types of charms.
Similarly,
the PPRO disclosed that his command has succeeded in arresting one
Yahaya Abdullahi of Talata Mafara town in his attempt to vandalise a
solar panel with intent to steal.
He said exhibits recovered from
the suspect include 60 pieces of solar panel, one solar battery and two
solar bulbs, adding that all the suspects will soon be charged to court
after the police investigations.
