The Sokoto State Command of the Nigerian Police Force has debunked news making the rounds that bandits have imposed village heads in the Sabon Birni LGA of the State.

In a statement signed by ASP Sanusi Abubakar, Police Public Relations Officer, for Commissioner Of Police, Sokoto State Command, the news is untrue and unsubstantiated.

*Re: Sokoto Bandits Impose New Heads and Payment of Fines on Sabon Birni Villages*

The attention of Sokoto State Police Command has been drawn to the above purported story in circulation online and other media outlets that bandits impose new heads on sabon birni villages and payments of fines.

The command is using this medium to reassure member of the public particularly residents in Sokoto state that, the command did not rest on its oars in fighting against banditry and other criminality in the state.

Investigation reveals that, the above claim of bandits imposing heads on Sabon Birni villages is not substantiated. We equally device so many proactive strategies and intelligence policing to ascertain the genesis of such claims. However, there is an ongoing operation which the driven force is under *"Operation Hadarin Daji"* including the Military, Police, Airforce and Special Forces. Soonest, this operation will be taken to the bandits camp and normalcy will be restore in areas affected by banditry activities.

Members of the press as well as general public are enjoined to continue to support the security operatives in the ongoing Operations against banditry and other criminal elements in the State.

This denial means it's true

Now we know the news is true. Bandits now have District head and ban police officers from the town what a time to be alive anyway deh are still thugs and businessmen.

Believe this, you'll believe anything.

Na.today ?

Some pictures or better still a video with the policemen in the community would suffice.

They will always debunk and deny. That's all they do, while terrorists continue to take over States and waste lives, undisturbed.

Ok

Sokoto people keep hiding the true in other to protect buhari government.

We know the drill...

The bandits truly imposed village heads...

It’s never been this bad with our security agencies...

You knoww it’s the actual truth immediately they rush to deny it..



Very predictable criminals

They always fail in discharging their duties but never fail to deny the resultant of their unprofessional actions & inactions.

Anything Nigerian govt denies,on the flip side,its the truth

Now we know the truth

Mchewww

It is unfortunate we can't trust our Nigerian police anymore as they are used to debunking all things and we later realize most of the things they debunked are true.

Nigeria is a completely failed nation

Just too bad

Just know that whatever this useless good for nothing NPF or NA denied is true.

Failed godforsaken country

I am beginning to suspect foul play here..for some days now on nairaland..any news that comes out there is always someone posting that it was denied..
Are you guys playing a game on nairalanders mind cos I know most of us here don't verify how true a news is..

That's there headache.

Lol something that the sultan of sokoto wants. The police denial is just trash . The sultan has always wanted Terrorists in his state so he can further push his Jihadi ambitions along with pantaBaba, BuBu and The midget of the north.
