Addressing journalists at the secret services’ headquarters, Mr. Garba Abdullahi, who stood in for Mr. Tony Opuiyo, said “Preliminary investigations have disclosed his (Danhajiya’s) involvement in gun-running, cattle rustling and other nefarious criminal activities principally on the directives of his commander.”
The service also presented Aminu Ado, David Ali, Michika Umar Hamza, James Malu Akune, and Kazeem Kayode Usman.

Danjuma (Rtd) of N1m in 2015, as well as wife of Akwa Ibom State Governor of N300, 000.
He was said to have collaborated with one Hajia Aisha, “who impersonated the wife of former Gombe State Governor, Danjuma Goje. The DSS said “he confessed to defrauding members of the public by claiming to be the Chief Security Officer (CSO) to the President.”
