The State Commandant of the NSCDC, Adamu Zakari disclosed this yesterday  while parading the suspects at NSCDC State Headquarters in Kano.

The Commandant of the NSCDC listed the suspects as: Alhaji Ubandi Hotoro Haruna Yahaya, Rabiu Ibrahim, Ismaila Mohammad Umar and Nura Aminu, Nasiru Adamu and Nazef Lawal, 20.

The rest were Sulaiman Tijjani, Mustapha Ismail Haruna, Aminu Jibril, Lawal Ibrahim, Abubakar Jibril, Abdullahi Hassan and Fatima Ibrahim.

He said the NSCDC, DSS and CBN will continue to clamp down on the perpetrators of the illegal act which is a punishable offence under the CBN Act.
