The Nigerian police paraded an officer of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), ASC Maikano Sarkin-Tasha, on Thursday for supplying anti-aircraft rockets and AK-47 ammunition to bandits in Zamfara State.
The NSCDC operative confessed to the crime and also admitted to supplying narcotics to the terrorists.
During his confession, the civil defense operative revealed that he was introduced to trading in illicit firearms two years ago by a fellow security operative.
He said, “I was arrested on my way to supply ammunition and an assortment of drugs and intoxicants to bandits. I got the supply from a fellow civil defence officer and a rank mate, Aminu Musa.”
“I was first introduced to the arms supply two years ago,” Sarkin-Tasha added.
In addition to the NSCDC operative, the Commissioner of Police, Shehu Muhammad Dalijan, also paraded a quack doctor accused of treating terrorists, Mamuda Sani Makakari, who was caught with 441 live ammunition.
The police also paraded the wives of two notorious bandits, Kachalla Jiji and Bello Kaura, who were arrested with two children each.
