A Nigerian soldier and his girlfriend were recently arrested while supplying ammunitions and military uniforms to armed bandits in Zamfara state.

Governor Bello Matawalle who was represented by his deputy chief of staff, Bashir Maru at a press conference in Dutse on Friday March 5, said the soldier was arrested by the military through community-driven intelligence.

Matawalle said;

“The military recently arrested an army officer and his girlfriend who were engaged in assisting bandits with military uniforms and ammunition in active connivance with other saboteurs. This arrest was only made possible through community-driven intelligence.

“While the state government awaits the action the military will take on this matter and make an official statement, the development has further proved the position of Governor Bello Mohammed that unless the fight against banditry is cleansed of bad eggs and saboteurs, we may not record the desired success in the fight.

“Let me use this medium to salute the courage and patriotism of the individual who came forward with information that led to the arrest of these traitors. Our gratitude knows no bounds.”
