The Police have threatened to bring down anyone found to be in possession of dangerous weapons in Minna and its environs in Niger State.
This was disclosed on Wednesday, by the Police Public Relation Officer (PPRO) in Niger State Mr. Abiodun Wasiu SP
He stated that the Command will not allow miscreants to Inflict or attack unsuspecting citizens with any dangerous arms in Minna and its environs.
Wasiu warned that anyone in possession of arms will not leave to tell the story.
Speaking on a Radio Badegi phone in programme and monitored in Minna, Wasiu said the command will no longer fold its hands to watch some disgruntled elements using dangerous weapons on law abiding citizens in Minna.
He decried the unwholesome activities of miscreants that have hitherto resulted in the wanton killing of innocent lives and stealing of Public belongings in Minna in the last three weeks.
The Niger State Capital, Minna, had come under heavy attacks by some street urchins terrorising residents of Minna with dangerous weapons killing and maiming residents.
Not fewer than six persons were killed while shops were looted by the miscreants even as valuable items worth millions of naira were carted away by the criminals.
The areas mostly affected were Ogbomoso road, Angwan Sarki Maitumbi Angwan Daji, all in Minna the capital of Niger State.
” Let me use this medium to sound this warning, the Police will now go out to bring down any of these miscreants that are found to be holding any dangerous weapons in Public”
” Again, let me warn that the Police in Niger State will not fold its hands to watch these criminals to attack Police that are doing their lawful duty safeguarding lives and properties of residents. This time the Police will bring that person down before you attack us.
” We have done it in Maitumbi when they attacked our Policemen with dangerous weapons. We brought two of them down and nothing happened. If they like they should try our might this time they will definitely go down”
He appealed to parents and guardians to always call their children to order, as not to regret the full action of the Police against their wards.
