Men of the Zamfara state police command have arrested a lawmaker in the state House of Assembly, a District Head and a former local government chairman over alleged kidnapping and banditry in the state.

Vanguard reports that Aminu Ibrahim, who represents Kaura Namoda state constituency in the Zamfara State House of Assembly, was allegedly nabbed by the police for complicity in banditry and kidnapping. Aminu Ibrahim had reportedly been involved in the abduction of Ibrahim Fada in Kasuwar Daji village, a man said to be about 80 years old.

The Commissioner of Police, Muhammad Dalijan, who confirmed the lawmaker’s arrest, added that the District Head of Kaura Namoda, Jafaru Kumburki and a former Chairman of Kaura Namoda LGA, Nasiru Muhammad, are also cooling their heads in police custody due to similar charges.

‘’Three District Heads of Danjibga, Bukkuyum and Unguwar Gyauro in Tsafe and Bukkuyum LGAs, are also under investigation for alleged involvement in kidnapping and banditry.”

The police boss said the District Head of Kaura Namoda connived with two suspected associates of bandits and kidnapped nine locals in Gidan Sambo village of Kaura Namoda LGA, and were paid a ransom of N800,000. He explained that the former council boss collaborated with two others and abducted Ango in the Kumurya community of Zamfara State.

“The District Heads of Danjibga, Unguwar Gyauro and Bukkuyum will face an investigative panel set up by the state government over their involvement in banditry activities. Prior to the formation of the panel, the police had conducted an investigation into the matter and submitted a report to the state governor for further action. Police authorities will continue to identify, arrest and subsequently prosecute anybody found participating in banditry and other related crimes.

Investigation is still ongoing and I can assure you that whoever is found directly or indirectly involved in this case will be invited for questioning.” he said
