Police operatives in Kano have arrested a man who supplies motorcycles to bandits operating in Zamfara state.
The police spokesperson in Kano, Abdullahi Kiyawa, told BBC Hausa on Tuesday that the suspect has confessed to selling over 100 motorcycles to the bandits in Zamfara.
The unidentified suspect was arrested following a tip-off by motorcycle traders in Kano.
The police narrated that the bandits pay the suspect N600,000 for a motorcycle and take the delivery in Kano.
The suspect was arrested in Kano while taking two motorcycles to Zamfara State.
“He sells Honda ACE 125 motorcycles popularly known as ‘Boko Haram’ in Zamfara State. Zamfara state government has since banned the use of this motorcycle.
“However, when they buy it in Kano, they change the cover of motorcycle box and take it to the forest where they assemble it for attacking innocent citizens,” Kiyawa said.
