The suspect, Abdulrahaman Adamu has admitted to committing the offence.
According to him he said; “I am currently serving as a member of the legislative council of Soba Local Government Area in Kaduna, representing Kinkiba Ward. I got the firearms from my accomplices and I am to deliver to the same bandits around Galadimawa village for their notorious activities.
“They only gave me N100, 000 to get them firearms. I always go to the bandits within my village. It was after the bandits had used my AK47 rifles that they would come and give me my firearms back. Some of my friends are bandits who use the firearms to terrorise Kaduna State. I have cooperated with the police operatives to assist them and took them to some of my friends who are bandits to recover more ammunition from them. This is not my first time, I always give out my firearms to my friends who are bandits to use and return. I started renting it out to them many years ago. But I have never followed them to carry out the operations. It is after they carry out their operations that they would later return my AK47 rifle,” he said
