A member of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association has been arrested in Kwara State after he was allegedly found in possession of a rifle reportedly issued by the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) for security operations in the state.
Sources told SaharaReporters that the suspect was apprehended in a community in Kwara South, a region that has in recent months witnessed frequent terrorist attacks, kidnappings and other violent crimes.
According to the source, the suspect was seen moving around the community with the rifle, raising suspicion among residents.
He was subsequently apprehended and handed over to officers of the Nigeria Police Force for investigation.
“The man was seen with a rifle said to have been given to members of Miyetti Allah to secure parts of Kwara State, especially Kwara South,” the source said.
A photograph shared with SaharaReporters by the source shows one of the suspects, identified as a Miyetti Allah member, allegedly hiding a rifle inside his jacket.
