Meanwhile, the police spokesman in Katsina, Abubakar Aliyu, in a statement made available to newsmen on Tuesday, said that the suspect, when questioned, could not give a satisfactory account to how he came about the exhibit.<\/p>\n

Aliyu added that Habibu confessed to committing the offence and mentioned one Abubakar Kabir, aka, Abu Tirai, as his conspirator.<\/p>\n

He confessed to having previously stolen aluminum cable from the same place and disposed of it through their receiver (name withheld) who is now at large.<\/p>\n

Aliyu said: \u201cEfforts are made to arrest the fleeing suspects as the investigation proceeds.\u201d<\/p>\n
