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.

174 rounds of AK-47 ammunition were recovered. The suspect could not account for their origin. On 22nd June 2026, operatives of the Toto Division were on routine patrol along the Toto-Abaji Road when they intercepted a man whose behavior drew immediate suspicion. A search uncovered 174 rounds of concealed 7.62mm AK-47 live ammunition. Abubakar Abdullahi was immediately arrested. When questioned about the source, ownership, or intended destination of the ammunition, he provided no satisfactory explanation. The investigation suggests that the ammunition was supplied by a network and intended for further distribution, but it was successfully intercepted. The investigation is ongoing to identify all individuals involved in this illegal activity. The leadership of the force has stated: "There will be no safe haven for criminals in Nasarawa State and Nigeria at large." Intelligence-led policing, surveillance, and strategic deployments are being utilized to prevent ammunition from reaching those who intend to use it for violence. Efforts to move illegal arms through Nasarawa State will now face increased obstacles.
