Party (PDP) of the Kabala ward, in Kaduna North Local Government Area of Kaduna
State.
The
women leader of the ward Hajiya Hajara Mairiga told the police that the suspect
whose name could not be ascertained as at press time, came to her house Monday
and told her that she has her PVC and some other people’s own for sale.

Surprised
by the disclosure, the woman leader raised the alarm and the attention of the
police at the Kabala Costain was called to the matter and the suspected was
arrested.
The
case was thereafter transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID)
of the police force where the suspect was detained for further investigation.
When
the Police Public Relation Officer (PPRO) DSP Abubakar Zubairu was contacted on
the subject matter, he confirmed it and said the woman suspect was in their
custody and investigation on the matter was on going.
According

complainant. What happened is that one woman came to her with PVC for sale and
she raised alarm and called the police.
