Abdulmumuni Hassan Shira and his son Jabir Y. Shira were arrested for poaching around Shaman area last month. In the process of the arrest, one other poacher hunting for animals escaped. Abdulmumuni is the “Sarkin Baka” of Duguri in Bauchi state.

Although he claims to have charms that render him invisible to rangers and security operatives, he was arrested again after being nabbed in July 2016, and was sentenced to 6 months in prison. Not learning from his previous offence, the notorious poacher was arrested again – this time with his son by his side.
