A Jigawa official said the funds were spent on sensitisation activities to promote behavioural change to curb open defecation in the state.
The Jigawa APC said more than 2,000 members of the PDP had earlier defected to the party in Maigatari and Kafin Hausa LGAs.
The Jigawa Child Protection Bill was signed into law on 22 December 2021; 18 years after the Federal Government of Nigeria enacted the Child Rights Act.
The state Attorney General, Musa Adamu, disclosed this on Wednesday in a press briefing held at Dutse, Jigawa capital.
The group pointed out that the gesture would socially lead to the inclusion of the Fulani youth in all aspects of life, like their counterparts across the country.
Three empty magazines were also recovered.
Ibrahim Dahiru, the Hisbah Commander, gave the charge in an interview on Saturday in Dutse.
Suspected cannabis, cold patch solution, 100 liters of local beer “Burukutu’’ and armoured cable were recovered from them.
For the 167,000 beneficiaries in the state’s 27 LGAs, the FG pays not less than N1.6 billion every two months.
The police said the suspects did not steal or take anything from the residence of the victim, who was the manager of Three Brothers Mill, Malammadori.
