The husbands reported one Sharifat Abdullahi of Kuregen Sani Hotoro, Kano, a suspected female drug trafficker, to the police in June, but upon investigation, it was discovered that they were part of a courier arrangement in which their wives were detailed to deliver some quantity of cocaine to a particular lady at a Saudi Arabia airport.
