Sani, who hails from Makera village in the Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State, told journalists while being paraded by the police in Katsina that he belongs to the Turji terror gang.
He said: “I belong to a gang led by Bello Turji who is currently hiding in Jangebe forest in Zamfara. Turji commands over 200 deadly armed men. For me, I’ve killed over 20 people with an AK-48 rifle in different attacks where I earned N20,000 or N30,000.
“I was arrested early today on my way to Suleja in Niger State, leaving my family in Zamfara,” he said.
Police spokesman, SP Gambo Isah, said Snai had been on the list of wanted persons.
He added that the suspect was eventually arrested in Jabiri Quarters in Funtua Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
