 Kwara govt denies links to bandits, faults viral video claims The Kwara State Government has dismissed a viral video alleging that officials supplied arms and a vehicle to bandits, describing the claims as false and misleading. In a statement on Sunday, Commissioner for Communications Bola Olukoju said no bandits were arrested in Ifelodun LGA by the Nigerian Army or any security agency. She added that the suspects in the video were reportedly arrested in Auchi, Edo State, not Kwara. The government also clarified that the vehicle referenced was a security van earlier assigned to vigilantes in Ifelodun and not linked to any criminal activity, stressing that no state government has the authority to supply weapons to individuals.

DEMOCRACY DAY: POLICE CLARIFIES, REFUTES SENATOR SANI'S MISLEADING CLAIMS 



No Endsars Protester Still in Detention 


The Nigeria Police Force categorically denies the recent allegations made by Senator Shehu Sani at the 2024 Democracy Day Dinner on June 12, 2024, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, where the former Senator falsely claimed that some young people have been detained since the 2020 EndSARS protest. 


The Nigeria Police affirms that no individual is being unlawfully detained by the Nigeria Police Force or any other security agency in Nigeria due to the EndSARS protest. All arrested individuals have been processed according to the law, and none remain unlawfully detained. In Lagos, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu pardoned approximately 100 suspects arrested by the Police during the protest. 


For emphasis, no one anywhere in Nigeria is under Police detention or being wrongly persecuted for participating in the EndSARS protest. The issues surrounding the protest have been debated, researched, and documented, and lessons have been learnt. We have forgiven ourselves and moved on. 


We urge the public to disregard this claim and remain assured of our commitment to upholding justice, the rule of law, and human rights. We encourage verifying information before making public statements to avoid harm and incitement.
