According to Isah, nemesis caught up with the suspects, when they stole the Automated Teller Machine, ATM card of a female victim, Rabi’atu Garba, of Mani Area Council of Katsina State, and started calling her, that they were spirits ‘Aljanu’, and asked her to avail them with her card’s Personal Identification Number, PIN.
