One of the leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara State, Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa, has said he has no link with the arrested Chadian bandit, Abdulmuminu Moossa, in Sokoto State.
The lawmaker has, therefore, urged the police, Department of State Services (DSS) and other security agencies to probe a report linking him with Moossa.

The senator, in a statement on Friday by his campaign office, said it was high time the security agencies began to investigate the politicisation of the security challenges bedevilling the country.
“The report, alleging that one Abdulmuminu Moossa, a citizen of Chad Republic, said to have been arrested by the Nigerian security operatives in Sabon Birni LGA of Sokoto State, confessed to knowing Senator Marafa for more than seven years, was nothing but black lies concocted to dent the hard-earned reputation of the former lawmaker.
“We, thereby, urge those who have been infected by the 2023 virus to stop spreading falsehood and allow the security agencies to do their job,” the statement reads.
