According to Femi Babafemi, the spokesperson for NDLEA, Bilkisu Suleman was apprehended in possession of 249 rounds of 7.62 mm live ammunition concealed in a black nylon bag kept inside her handbag.<\/p>\n

In a statement released on Sunday, January 7, Femi Babafemi disclosed, “Bilkisu was on her way to deliver the ammunition to an identified bandit in Kakumi village, Katsina state when she was nabbed, after which she was transferred to the Kaduna state command of the Nigeria Police Force for further investigation.”<\/p>\n
