The Nigeria Police have revealed that some members of the
business community were sponsoring bandits.
This was contained in a statement on Sunday by Force Public
Relations Officer (FPRO), DCP Frank Mba.
“Unfortunately, investigation also reveals that some
citizens, especially those within the business community, give tacit support to
the terror groups”, he declared.
“They do this by deliberately doing businesses with them
through the supply of essential goods, illicit drugs and other services.”
Mba noted that three more suspects were arrested in the
ongoing operations at the operational bases of the Ansaru Terrorists’ Group in
Kuduru Forest, Birnin-Gwari, Kaduna State.
He disclosed that the suspects were assisting police
investigators with useful information relating to the membership spread and
make-up, criminal/operational records, logistics and others.
Mba added that they were involved in the attempted kidnap of
the Emir of Potiskum that resulted in the gruesome killing of the Emir’s police
escorts.
The statement said the bandist were further involved in
several other kidnap operations and terror attacks on commuters and other
innocent citizens along some major highways in the country.
Mba said the police operatives were on the close trail of
other fleeing members of the terror groups and their collaborators.
