The statement adds that Hafsat’s link with
the terrorists group had earlier been a subject of investigation in 2012, while
security agents were searching for one Usman Bako, her husband. An AK 47
rifle and 2 loaded magazines were discovered in Jimeta during a search.
The DHQ said the female
suspects were luring ladies especially widows and young girls by enticing them
with male suitors who are mainly members of their terror group for marriage.
Before their arrest, they were on a mission to take additional briefing from
the leadership of the terror group. They are making useful information.
