Aisha Abubakar, a women leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Katsina State, has confessed to acting as an informant for bandits and receiving only N5,000 from a N9 million ransom and a motorcycle paid for the release of kidnap victims.
In a viral interrogatory video, Abubakar detailed her involvement in the kidnapping of five members of the family of Alhaji Sanusi, the Tsaiyaya Ward APC chairman.
She disclosed that she was approached by Zainab, who is currently at large, to provide information on Alhaji Sanusi and the APC chairman’s family, enabling a successful kidnapping operation.
“After the ransom, including N9 million and a motorcycle, was paid, I was given a share of N5,000, with a balance of N15,000 to be paid after I returned from a wedding ceremony in Zaria,” Abubakar revealed.
She also confessed to participating in a cattle rustling operation in Tsaiyaya, for which she received N20,000.
She said other key actors involved in the community’s criminal activities included Yahaya, Audu na Bani, and the children of Bashar.
