Tambaya was said to have been found in possession of one of Babaru’s active phone numbers on his handset.
Sources added that another suspected logistics supplier, identified as Ado Dan Zaria, escaped by scaling the fence of his residence when troops stormed his home. His house was later searched and destroyed.
