Katsina varsity student confesses supplying arms to terrorists

+Ahmad Muhammad Kabir, an undergraduate at the Federal University Dutsinma (FUDMA) in Katsina State, Northwest Nigeria, has admitted to providing logistical support and supplying firearms to terrorist groups operating in the region.

Kabir, a student of Geography and Regional Planning, was arrested while attempting to deliver a large cache of ammunition to bandits in Dutsinma.

During a video-recorded interrogation, he implicated fellow student Manir Musa as a collaborator in the illegal arms operation.

Kabir was apprehended on Saturday at a motor park in Dutsinma, Katsina State. He revealed to investigators that he had transported the ammunition from Nasarawa State, concealing it in sacks of guinea corn to avoid detection.

Originally from Kaduna, Kabir confessed to being a key logistics supplier for terrorist organizations. He also disclosed that he had moved to Dutsinma’s Hayin Danmani in the Igabi Local Government Area to pursue a university education at FUDMA.

When asked how he became involved with bandits, Kabir explained: “Two weeks ago, a friend from school, Manir Musa, told me to expect a call from someone that could earn me money. I agreed.

“I later received the call and was instructed to travel to Nasarawa State to bring in ammunition for a fee.

“I went to Lafiya, the state capital, where a man met me on the outskirts and handed me a sack of guinea corn with ammunition hidden inside.

“From there, I traveled to Abuja and boarded a commercial vehicle to Dutsinma.”

When questioned if he had ever met with the bandits in person, Kabir responded, “No, we only communicate by phone.”
