APC Women Leader in Katsina Confesses to Aiding Bandits in Kidnappings

 

Katsina State – Aisha Abubakar, a women leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Katsina State, has confessed to acting as an informant for bandits. Abubakar admitted to receiving only N5,000 from a N9 million ransom and a motorcycle paid for the release of kidnap victims.

 

In a widely circulated interrogation video, Abubakar described her involvement in the kidnapping of five family members of Alhaji Sanusi, the Tsaiyaya Ward APC chairman. She revealed that Zainab, who is currently at large, approached her to provide information on Alhaji Sanusi and his family, which enabled the successful kidnapping operation.

 

“After the ransom, including N9 million and a motorcycle, was paid, I was given a share of N5,000, with a balance of N15,000 to be paid after I returned from a wedding ceremony in Zaria,” Abubakar disclosed.

 

Abubakar also admitted to participating in a cattle rustling operation in Tsaiyaya, for which she received N20,000. She identified other key actors involved in the community’s criminal activities as Yahaya, Audu na Bani, and several children.

 

The confession has sparked outrage and concern among residents, highlighting the deepening security challenges in Katsina State.
