Sokoto: Security forces arrest notorious arms trafficker supplying weapons to terrorists
Security forces in Isa Local Government Area of Sokoto State have apprehended a notorious arms trafficker, Hamza Suruddubu, who has been allegedly supplying weapons to terrorist groups operating in the region.
According to intelligence sources cited by security analyst Zagazola Makama on X, Suruddubu, an arms dealer from Eastern Sokoto, has played a significant role in the trafficking and distribution of firearms from Zamfara State to terrorist strongholds in Eastern Sokoto.
He is believed to be a key supplier of weapons to notorious bandits, including Bello Turji, Boka, and Halilu Buzu.
Investigations reveal that Suruddubu was not only involved in arms smuggling but also facilitated the supply of essential logistics such as foodstuffs and motorcycles for criminal groups operating in the region.
The intelligence sources also suggested possible complicity of some security operatives within Shinkafi and Isa local government areas in the illegal arms trade, raising concerns over internal corruption within the security structure.
Community leaders and security stakeholders have called on law enforcement agencies to conduct a thorough investigation into Suruddubu’s network.
They further called on them to expose the full extent of arms smuggling operations between Isa and Sabon Birni.
