“Upon interrogation, she said she was from Dadara but she hails from Gombe State. Later, she said she was from Hirji in the Niger Republic.
“She couldn’t provide a satisfactory explanation on where she bought the petrol and where she was going with it.
“It was obvious dat she came out from the forest and was suspected to be aiding the activities of the bandits by providing them with information and supplying them with petrol for use in their motorcycles.
“From all indication, life is miserable for the bandits as they resort to sending their wives to disguise and come out to the town to buy petrol in sacks and leather, hide under their hijab and take to them to the forest. The investigation is ongoing,” SP Isah however stated.
