NPF CLARIFIES FALSE BANDITRY NARRATIVE IN VIRAL KATSINA VIDEO, REAFFIRMS PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY SECURITY VOLUNTEERS
The Nigeria Police Force categorically disclaims the false and misleading narrative accompanying a viral video circulating on social media which alleges that a uniformed police officer was seen interacting with armed bandits in Katsina State.
For the avoidance of doubt, the individuals featured in the video are not bandits. They are duly recognized members of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria (VGN) and registered hunters who are actively supporting ongoing security operations in collaboration with security agencies in Musawa and Matazu Local Government Areas of Katsina State.
The video captured a routine interaction between a police officer and these security volunteers as they proceeded to a designated operational area in support of efforts to combat criminality and enhance public safety. Any claim suggesting otherwise is entirely false, malicious, and intended to mislead the public.
The Nigeria Police Force strongly condemns the deliberate distortion of facts and the circulation of misinformation capable of causing public anxiety, undermining confidence in security institutions, and frustrating ongoing security operations.
Members of the public are urged to disregard the misleading claims attached to the video and rely only on information disseminated through official channels of the Nigeria Police Force and other authorized government sources.
The Force warns individuals and groups engaged in the creation, publication, or dissemination of false information capable of prejudicing public peace and security to desist immediately, as appropriate legal action may be taken against violators.
The Nigeria Police Force remains committed to working with legitimate community-based security stakeholders and other relevant partners in the collective effort to protect lives, safeguard communities, and combat crime across the country.

*This is Bandit Terrorists with their sponsors,..
A white man landed his helicopter in the middle of the forest to meet their footed terrorists...
All the terrorist branches in the world are in Nigeria as a safe place to operate uninterrupted..
So much for love of Nigeria.
The first motorbikes used by bandit to attacks were donations from
politicians during 2011 elections campaign.
2026 same idiots are still sharing motorcycles that will likely end up being used by bandits to terrorize people

I still dey vex over this Major General Rabe death. Military High command suppose convene emergency meeting, and dem fit do am with full chest, by morning dem suppose tell Tinubu it is over . If he no resign honorably from that office by Monday , wetin go happen next na between him and God.
Dem do am for IBB, no go be the first time.
But we no fit continue like this as a nation.
Major General Rabe Abubakar don die.
No excuse.
No propaganda.
No press statement.
No damage control.
From Tinubu dey acceptable.
He MUST Resign.
If bandits fit do that to a Major General, who dey safe?
Farmer no safe.
Student no safe.
Traditional ruler no safe.
Senator no safe.
Retired General no safe.
So who exactly dey safe for Nigeria?
Enough of all the sweet statistics.
Enough of all the 2027 speeches.
Enough of all the public relations gymnastics.
Reality no dey listen to press releases.
Reality be say criminals successfully kidnapped and killed one of the countryโs senior military officers.
That one alone na national humiliation.
If a government cannot protect a Major General of the Nigerian Army, then e owe Nigerians a serious explanation as to how e go protect over 200 million citizens.
Nigeria cannot continue like this.
The country deserves accountability.
The country deserves answers.
And the country deserves leadership that matches the scale of the crisis.

See as cow dey enjoy soft life.
My uncle lived in China for 7 years and came back speaking fluent Mandarin and zero generosity.

One day I needed money for transport. He looked at me, then looked at his car, then said in perfect Mandarin "Nว xiวng yร o qiรกn?" "You want money?"
I said yes.
