Police debunk arrest of foreign arms dealer in Niger
The Niger State Police Command said it had not arrested any foreign national distributing weapons with a helicopter to bandits in the state.
Commissioner of Police, Monday Kurya, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Minna on Friday that such an incident never occurred in any part of the state.
Mr Kurya described the report of the arrest of a foreign arms dealer as ”fake news”circulating in social media as such incident never happened in the state.
He said, “We have not arrested any foreign national with helicopter distributing weapons to bandits in our area of supervision.”
He called on members of the general public to disregard such reports and support the police with required information that could aid in apprehending men of the underworld in the state.
