Niger Police confirmed Friday a bombshell tragedy: DSP Abdullahi Isah, 12PMF Minna’s armoury boss, shot himself dead Tuesday during a routine gun audit after his Dec 15 arrest for shady ammo deals—right as discrepancies exposed 13 missing AK-47s and 2,000+ rounds fueling bandit sales in Shiroro’s Erena hood.
Spokesman SP Abiodun Wasiu detailed the 2:30pm meltdown in his locked electronic vault (sole access his), with escort cops nabbed for negligence facing trials; whispers link Insp John Moses (Gov House)—who fingered Isah’s brother as middleman—to the racket, now ONSA-hauling suspects to Abuja amid probes into the late cop’s flashy cars and Minna mansions.
This self-inflicted end amid Nigeria’s arms-in-bandit-hands epidemic spotlights rotten oversight, eroding trust and demanding ironclad audits to plug leaks arming terror—proving accountability gaps could cost more lives if unchecked.
