In a shocking turn of events, Zamfara State Commissioner of Police Muhammad Dalijan announced the arrest of a serving member of the State House of Assembly and a former local government chairman for their alleged involvement in banditry.
The high-profile arrests were revealed during a visit by Thomas Parker, head of the Counterterrorism Unit at the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, to the command headquarters in Gusau.
While the identities of the detained individuals remain undisclosed, the commissioner called on the UN for assistance in establishing a forensic lab in Zamfara, emphasizing the need for advanced crime-fighting tools to tackle the escalating insecurity.
