Uπbelievable: Nigerian Student Confesses To Supplying Firearms To Terrorists
Ahmad Muhammad Kabir, an undergraduate student at the Federal University Dutsinma (FUDMA) in Katsina State, Northwest Nigeria, has openly confessed to providing crucial logistical support and supplying firearms to notorious terrorist groups operating in the region.
Kabir, who is pursuing a degree in Geography and Regional Planning, was apprehended by authorities while attempting to deliver a large cache of ammunition to bandits in Dutsinma.
During an interrogation session captured on video, Kabir implicated a fellow student, Manir Musa, as a collaborator in his illicit firearms supply operation.
Kabir, who was taken into custody on Saturday at a Dutsinma township motor park in Katsina State, revealed to investigators that he had transported the ammunition from Nasarawa State, cleverly concealed within sacks of guinea corn to evade detection.
Born in Kaduna, Kabir confessed to being a key logistics supplier for terrorist organizations, and astonishingly, disclosed that he had relocated to Dutsinma’s Hayin Danmani in the Igabi Local Government Area solely to pursue Western education at the Federal University Dutsinma.
Asked how he got involved with bandits, Kabir said, “Two weeks back, a friend I got to know at school, Manir Musa called to inform me to expect a call from someone and that it would fetch me money; to which I obliged.
“I later got the stranger’s call and was asked to proceed to Nasarawa State to bring in ammunition at a price.
“I took off to Nasarawa State as planned, to Lafiya, the state capital to be precise where a man asked me to meet him on the outskirts of the city. He handed me a sack containing guinea corn with ammunition concealed in it.
“Immediately I collected the consignment, I headed for Abuja where I boarded a Dutsinma-bound commercial vehicle.”
On whether he had personally met with bandits before, he replied, “No, we only communicate on the phone”.
He said, “When I arrived from Nasarawa, I called to inform them I had arrived with the bag. So he asked for my location and I told him. He sent someone with a motorcycle to come pick it up.”
It was reported on July 9, 2024 how the Vice-Chancellor of Federal University Dutsinma (FUDMA), Katsina State, Prof Armaya’u Bichi, had accused some staff members of the university of aiding bandits.
Prof Bichi, during interview with newsmen in Katsina, alleged that some of the university’s staff members were serving as informants to the bandits.
“This issue of informants is worrisome, therefore, we investigated those we are suspecting of giving out their colleagues and students’ information,” Bichi said.
He continued: “We have found them, and handed over their contacts to one of the security agencies for further investigation.
“But we have not heard anything from the securities. These suspects are our staff. We have strong reasons for accusing them of being informants to bandits.”
