The Niger State Command of the Nigerian Police Force, NPF, has cleared the air on the arrest of a Foreign Nationale said to be distributing Weapons in the State, saying the media reports most especially in circulation on the social media was not true but false and fake.

In a press release made available to the Treasure Newspaper on Saturday morning with reference number AZ:5250/NGS/PPRO/NGS/VOL.21/70, dated the 26th of August, 2022 and signed by DSP Wasiu A Abiodun, the
Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, of the Niger State Police Command urged Nigerians to regard the news as fake.

According to the Niger State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, DSP Wasiu A. Abiodun, he stated that the Command wishes to respond to a picture circulating in some social media and other media platform tagged that a foreign nationale pilot named “Juan Remy” who supplies weapons to bandits has been arrested in Niger State.

Speaking further, Wasiu Abiodun described such a report as a piece of fake news and that such incident never occurred in Niger State.

He however pointed out that there has never been report of any foreign Nationale with helicopter distributing weapons to hoodlums in the State.

The Commissioner of Police, Niger State Command, CP Monday Bala Kuryas, used the opportunity to urge members of the public to disregard such report as it is aimed in creating unnecessary chaos in the public domain.

He appreciates Nigerlites and residents of the state for their support while urging them not to relent in their support by providing useful information in tackling crime and criminality in Niger State.
