In a statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bashir Usman, the Command said it is aware of the reports and is currently verifying the information to establish the facts.
The Command clarified that the “Sai Malam” group has not been designated as a terrorist organisation under any existing proscription order.
According to the statement, suspects earlier prosecuted by the Police in February 2026 in Zuru were arrested and investigated in connection with alleged criminal activities. Exhibits recovered from the suspects included suspected counterfeit currencies of different countries, including the Nigerian Naira, United States Dollar, CFA Franc, and Libyan Dinar, as well as suspected ritual or occult items and other related materials.
