Operatives of the Sokoto State Police Command have arrested four suspected members of a counterfeiting syndicate linked to the notorious “Sai Mallam” cult group.

The officers also rescued two kidnapped victims following a separate anti-bandit operation in the Binji Local Government Area of the state.

This was disclosed in a statement issued on Thursday by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ahmad Rufa’i.

Rufa’i said operatives of the command’s Strike Force Unit carried out an intelligence-led raid on May 19 in the Mana area of Sokoto metropolis, following information provided by a resident.

The police added that the operation targeted a house allegedly owned by one Yusufa Auditor, who is currently at large.
