Kassim said:
“I normally take the cars to Niger, but I also have customers in Birnin Kebbi. I have been jailed twice and some of my gang members are currently serving various terms in prison. My favourite car is Toyota Corolla because it is marketable (easy to sell).”
In addition, a complaint known as Abdul Bature identified some of his neighbours among the suspects.
According to Bature, his neighbours had kidnapped a relative whom they sexually abused and collected ransom from her husband.
Bature also alleged that the said neighbours who stole some of his cows have been arrested twice by the police.
He said the suspects also managed to escape justice anytime they were arrested.
He said:
“We were very close, we do everything together; they stole 24 cows. Even if they (police) released them, they won’t stop. The government has to do something about it.”
