Abdulrahman Adamu, a serving councillor representing Soba Local Government Area of Kaduna State, arrested by the Kaduna State police command with AK-47 rifle in his possession, has confessed that he is a regular supplier of arms to the bandits and kidnappers.
He said that he had been getting the firearm from his accomplices and used to deliver same to bandits around Galadimawa village for their nefarious activities.
The police had earlier arrested the councillor with AK-47 rifle in the Giwa Local Government Area of the state.
The arrest was made by the operatives of Operation Puff Adder II, attached to the Kaduna Police Command during a routine patrol along Galadimawa Road.
According to a statement by the spokesman of the command, Mohammed Jalige, the police officers succeeded in intercepting the councillor, who was moving in a black Lifan motorcycle towards the Galadimawa community with a sack.
The policemen at that point became suspicious of the sack being carried by the suspect and were prompted to search its content. It was in this process that they discovered an AK-47 rifle loaded with six rounds of 7.62 X 39mm live ammunition concealed inside the sack.
The police spokesman revealed that the suspect was arrested and taken into custody alongside the exhibits while preliminary investigation reveals the identity of the suspect, Abdulrahman Adamu, as a serving member in the legislative council of Soba Local Government Area of Kaduna State representing Kinkiba ward.
