Shocking Revelation as Wife of Wanted Chadian Terrorist Speaks Out A woman has come forward with a startling revelation about her husband, Ahmad Adam Abba, a suspected Chadian terrorist, claiming she was unaware of his criminal activities throughout their marriage. The Kano State Police Command recently paraded her alongside two of her husband’s associates at the Bompai Police Headquarters in Kano. She explained that she had always believed her husband was a legitimate trader until suspicious incidents led her to question his true identity. Suspicious Encounters That Raised Red Flags According to the woman, the first sign of trouble emerged when her husband faced an issue with the Nigerian Immigration Service while trying to renew his passport. However, it wasn’t until he returned home late at night carrying large sums of Chadian currency that her suspicions deepened. She also recalled how her husband frequently held secret meetings at his elder brother’s house, Bushara, never involving her or disclosing any details. The Moment of Realization Her fears were confirmed when authorities declared her husband wanted. She recounted an incident where he suddenly rushed into their home, collected some documents and money, and left in a hurry, promising to call her later—only to disappear completely. “I had no idea what was happening until strange events started unfolding. He was arrested alongside some men while trying to renew their passports, and later, news emerged that they were involved in killings. I was in the dark the entire time,” she said. The woman described how she discovered bundles of Chadian currency in a sack given to her by her husband. Shortly after, she noticed unknown men visiting their home, having breakfast together before stepping outside to engage in secret conversations. “My husband returned later and collected the money he had left with me. That was when an Almajiri boy working in our house informed me that something strange was happening at Bushara’s residence. He said my husband’s associates were seen running away,” she narrated. Later that day, she saw her husband rush into their home to grab more cash and important documents. As he left, she followed him to the gate, and he reassured her he would call—but she never heard from him again. A Warning to Parents About Marriage Decisions Reflecting on her experience, the woman urged parents to conduct thorough background checks before allowing their daughters to marry. “I suffered two miscarriages during our time together. My advice to parents is to properly investigate anyone seeking their daughter’s hand in marriage, whether the suitor is from a neighboring town or a distant place,” she warned. Police Security Alert to Kano Residents The Kano State Police had earlier issued a security alert, warning residents to avoid large gatherings on the eve of the National Tijjaniyya program due to ongoing security concerns.

Journalist Released After DSS Invitation A correspondent for Vanguard, Haruna Aliyu, has been released unharmed following an invitation by the Kebbi State Command of the Department of State Services (DSS). Aliyu had earlier raised concerns over his safety upon receiving the summons, fearing possible threats. However, after honoring the invitation, he confirmed that he was treated professionally and given the opportunity to explain his knowledge regarding a dispute involving his colleague and DSS personnel. Aliyu’s visit to the DSS Kebbi Command strengthened the relationship between media professionals and the security agency, which is known for its thorough investigations aimed at ensuring justice regardless of social status. He expressed his gratitude to Vanguard Newspaper, the Kebbi Area Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), and the Correspondent Chapel for their support. He also clarified that his initial fears were misplaced and pledged to continue fostering professional collaboration with the DSS. DSS Witness Testifies Against NSCDC Officers in Kidnapping & Banditry Case Meanwhile, at the Federal High Court in Ibadan, a DSS official, Mr. Stephen Okolo, testified against three officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) and an alleged arms dealer, all accused of involvement in kidnapping and banditry. The NSCDC officials—Olamide Okesola, Adedeji Adewale, and Asmau Omar—along with an alleged illegal arms dealer, Emmanuel Olatunji, are facing multiple charges, including conspiracy, terrorism, and illegal arms supply. How Technology Aided the Arrest During his testimony before Justice N.E. Maha, Okolo explained that the DSS deployed advanced surveillance technology to track down and apprehend the suspects. The operation, initiated in January 2023, was in response to the rising cases of kidnapping and banditry in Oyo State’s Okeogun region and parts of Kwara State. Through sustained monitoring, the DSS identified and arrested key figures in the criminal network. Among them were two notorious bandit leaders, Baguda and Banshile, who were known for their violent activities. Okolo also presented crucial evidence to the court, including a bag containing 1,000 rounds of live ammunition, reportedly seized from Lawan Buhari, another suspect linked to the case. He emphasized that breaking the chain of ammunition supply significantly reduced the rate of criminal activities in the affected areas. Arms Supplier Confesses to DSS Investigators The second prosecution witness (PW2), Lawan Buhari, admitted to selling AK-47 rifles and bullets to the defendants, who allegedly funneled the weapons to terrorist groups. Buhari, who was formerly with Operation Burst—a security task force—revealed that the accused NSCDC officers had approached him for arms supply. Before his arrest, Buhari claimed he had received substantial financial payments for his role in arming criminal elements. He was eventually detained at the 81 Battalion Barracks in Mokola, Ibadan. Charges & Next Court Hearing According to DSS prosecution counsel T.A. Nurudeen, the defendants are facing a 15-count amended charge, including terrorism, illegal arms dealing, and aiding and abetting terrorism. However, all four defendants pleaded not guilty. Justice Maha has scheduled the continuation of the trial for February 11, 2025.
