January 27, 2023The Nigeria Police Force, Katsina State Command, has arrested eight suspects for “causing a riot” during President Muhammadu Buhari's visit to the North-West state.
According to Gambo, a police investigation revealed that the mischievous individuals had used children to cause apprehension in the area by throwing stones at police patrol teams deployed to arrest the miscreants in the area.Meanwhile, the police denied that President Buhari was stoned and booed during his visit.
Gambo's statement on Friday was in response to what he called doctored videos circulating online in which the Nigerian leader was booed by a crowd while commissioning the Kofar Kaura Underpass Bridge in the state capital on Thursday. “As a result, the Command is urging the public to disregard the publications/videos as false, doctored, and misleading,” he said.
