Force Public Relations Officer, CSP ANiete Iniedu while making this known ,said , “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.
