The Anti-Thuggery Standing Committee of the Zamfara Government reported that it had detained three individuals for allegedly providing Sim Packs, drugs, illicit substances, and sex enhancers to bandits.

Three other suspects have been detained by the committee for allegedly stealing phones.

According to news sources, the Zamfara Government has formed the Anti-Thuggery Standing Committee to assist security services in battling political thuggery and other state-sponsored criminal collaboration.

While turning over the suspects to security agents in Gusau on Sunday, the Committee's chairman, Bello Bakyasuwa, revealed this.

“You know after establishing this committee with representatives from security agencies by Gov. Bello Matawalle, we were given mandates to fight against thuggery activities and other related crimes in the state,” he noted

“On Saturday, during a night patrol around 12 midnight, we intercepted a vehicle along Gusau-Magami road from which we recovered 100 new Sim packs, Kurkura substances, snuff, sexual enhancers and drugs,” Bakyasuwa said.

“You know, the state government has banned night movement in the areas the vehicle was heading to.

“One of our duties is to ensure total compliance with government’s directives in that regard,” he explained.
According to him, “On Saturday evening, we also arrested three young men for attacking celebrants at an event in Tudun Wada area of Gusau metropolis.”

“Hoodlums in Gusau metropolis now adopt a new strategy of phone snatching at ceremonies.

“After receiving a report of similar act in Tudun Wada area, we were able to arrest three suspects and recovered many handsets from them.

“Other suspects are now at large but our men have been working to arrest them,” he added.
