The Kano state police command says it has arrested a man suspected to be supplying motorcycles to bandits in Zamfara State.
Zamfara state is the epicenter of banditry in the North West, and the gunmen unleash their atrocity using motorcycles.
The Command’s spokesperson, Abdullahi Kiyawa, said this in an interview with BBC on Tuesday.
He said the suspect, who had sold over 100 motorcycles to bandits, was arrested in Kano following a rip-off from some patriotic citizens.
Kiyawa said: “He is selling motorcycle Honda ACE 125, popularly known as Boko Haram, which was banned by the Zamfara state government. They used to change the cartons here in Kano and supply it to the bandits in Zamfara where they assemble it in the bush.
“We arrested him with two motorcycles. He had changed the pack and was ready to move to Zamfara when we arrested him.”
