A video circulating online has raised new concerns regarding security operations in North-West Nigeria, as it reportedly shows armed gunmen passing through a police checkpoint without being challenged. The footage has prompted discussions about the effectiveness of police measures in the area, according to Naija News.

The Nigeria Police Force has refuted claims that its operatives permitted armed bandits to pass through a checkpoint without challenge, stating that the individuals in the viral video are vigilantes, not bandits. The police emphasized the importance of accurate reporting regarding security matters.

The police have clarified that a viral video showing motorcycle riders does not depict armed bandits, as speculated online, but rather vigilantes and hunters. This statement comes in response to intense reactions and concerns raised by viewers regarding the nature of the riders' activities in the state.

The Nigerian Police Force has dismissed claims from a viral video suggesting that an officer had interactions with bandits in Katsina. The Force urged the public to disregard the video's assertions and to rely solely on information disseminated through official police channels and authorized sources, according to Tribune Online.
