Police spokesman in the state, DSP Lawan Shiisu, stated this in Dutse, the state capital, on Thursday that the suspect was arrested on Nov. 16.

โ€œPolicemen in Ringim in collaboration with a local vigilance group arrested the 50-year-old resident of Yandutsen Kawari village who specialised in fabricating firearms for miscreants,โ€™โ€™ Shiisu stated.
