OUR ARREST IS ALLAH’S WISH! Nothing we can do about it, says armed robbers nabbed in Niger
An armed robber arrested by the Niger State Police Command has accepted his fate, saying his arrest was Allah’s wish.
Hussaini Dikko, who was nabbed along with two of his accomplices, told journalists they would have escaped but for the fact that “Allah has destined that we would be caught.”
Operatives of the command had arrested Hussaini, Usman Diko and Usman Umar at Gufanti Fulani Camp in New Bussa Local Government Area of the state.

It was learnt that the suspects were robbing residents of Wawa, New Bussa, when they were apprehended by the police. The suspects engaged the police in a gun duel during which they were injured.
Hussaini told our correspondent that his gang fired at the policemen in order to escape arrest.
“We opened fire to scare them to enable us to take to our heels but unfortunately they wounded one of us during the exchange of gunfire and consequently arrested us.
“Allah has destined that they will catch us, so there is nothing anybody can do about it. We have accepted our fate, so let the law take its course,” he said.
