This is contained in a statement by retired Brig.- Gen. Dahiru Abdulsalam, Special Adviser to Gov. Mai Mala Buni on Security Matters in Damaturu on Tuesday.

He said the man was arrested at about 12 : 10 am on Tuesday with the equipment concealed in a bus on the Potiskum to Gombe Road.

“Today, at about 00:10AM, troops of FOB Potiskum arrested a man  in possession of 19 seed planters.

“The items which are suspected to have been issued for the Yobe State Agricultural Empowerment Programme, were concealed in a blue coloured 18-seater bus with Registration No: KTG 449 YG,” Abdulsalam said.

He said the suspect could not provide any proof to show that he was a beneficiary of the programme.

“ The owner of the items had no letter of authority for issue of the items to him or any one else.

“ The suspect who hails from Jigawa State claimed that he bought the items from one Alhaji Babaji with phone number 08032837370 in Damaturu at the rate of N50,000.00 each.

“ He stated that he was conveying the items to resell in Dutse , Jigawa,” he said.
