Wanted Zamfara Bandit Kingpin, Sani Galadi Arrested By DSS At Sokoto Hajj Terminal
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Department of State Services (DSS) on Monday arrested another kidnap kingpin, Sani Galadi, at the Sultan Abubakar International Airport in Sokoto while attempting to board a flight to Saudi Arabia for this year’s Hajj exercise.

Galadi was apprehended at the Hajj terminal during a routine screening exercise ahead of departure to Saudi Arabia.

“He was arrested at the Hajj terminal while undergoing a final screening before their departure for the holy land today.

“He is currently under investigation and will be charged to court upon the completion of interrogation,” a source said.

A top official of the Sokoto State Pilgrims Welfare Agency, Faruk Umar, also confirmed the arrest, clarifying that the suspect was not part of the Sokoto pilgrims.

“I also heard about the arrest, but I can comfortably tell you that the suspect is not a pilgrim from Sokoto but from Zamfara State.

He said : “Sokoto pilgrims are not travelling today, it’s only those from Zamfara that will move today, the next flight for Sokoto is tomorrow, so definitely the arrested suspect is from Zamfara and not Sokoto.”

Umar explained that the DSS screening is part of a broader agreement with state pilgrim agencies to ensure a secure environment for the Hajj operations.
