Police prosecutor, ASP Thomas Irimiya Peter, said the convicts were arrested after a tip-off on April 14, 2022 in Zugurma area in Mashegu Local Government Area of Niger State.
“The tip off was based on the fact that the suspects are supplying some armed bandits terrorising Mashegu area with illicit drugs and they also serve as doctor and transporter to the bandits,” the police prosecutor said.
