This was disclosed by the commander of Zuba Vigilantes Group, Usman Abdurahman, who said the soldier was handed over to the 176 Guards Battalion for further action.

He told LEADERSHIP Friday that the soldier was suspected of selling arms to armed bandits/kidnappers terrorising the Federal Capital Territory and environs. Sources said the soldier was arrested around Dankogi Park in Zuba at the point of sales.

The soldier had reportedly hired a gun to the kidnappers for N300,000 in one of the operations and in another instance, he received N200,000 for one gun.  Unfortunately for the soldier, the kidnappers were arrested and they mentioned him as their gunrunner.

The kidnappers contacted him for another deal to supply them AK 47 rifles to buy at N3million and he fell for it.   They went to the agreed site in Zuba and took position. The soldier arrived in his car to present the arm and the security men swooped on him. An AK 47 rifle as well as a fully loaded magazine with 30 rounds of ammunition was found in his car.
