Fulani was reportedly apprehended in Toronya community by vigilantes operating under the command of the Tsaure area commander, Sadiq Mu’azu.
Security expert, Bakatsine, disclosed the development in a post on X on Thursday.

The security expert said the allegation had raised concerns about the role of insiders in the security challenges confronting some communities.

The arrest comes amid continuing security concerns in parts of northern Nigeria, where communities have faced attacks and other threats from armed groups.
