Reports circulating online claim that a suspected intermediary collected ₦95 million from an alleged bandit leader in Matazu Local Government Area of Katsina State to procure firearms, then disappeared without delivering the weapons. The allegation has drawn reactions because it suggests that a criminal figure may have been defrauded in an illegal arms deal. However, security authorities have not issued an official statement confirming the report. The claim also highlights continuing concerns about arms trafficking and banditry in the North-West, where armed groups have been linked to kidnappings, attacks, cattle rustling and extortion.
