Zakari Ya’u Adamu, chairman of shoe sellers at the market said: “We divided ourselves into groups and went after them. At the beginning, they were trying to resist our interrogation, but when they noticed that some youths were ready to attack them, they cooperated. One of them was found with five sim cards while the other was found with four.”
