Kano State Commissioner of Police Mr Mohammed Gumel, has debunked reports on the alleged recruitment of a criminal into the Nigeria Police Force in the state.
Gumel told newsmen in Kano yesterday that one Nasiru Abdullahi was among the 222 “repentant influential youths” who denounced violence and chose to become good ambassadors of the state.
He was reacting to allegations that the state command was training constabularies at a training school, with many people asking when and where the state built a training school. He said Abdullahi, also known as ‘Chile Madobi’, was among the 222 youths who had been granted amnesty by the state government.According to him, following instructions from the state government, the youths were de-radicalized and properly profiled, during which about 50 of them volunteered to help police in the ongoing fight against criminal elements in the state.
Gumel said, “All the 222 influential youths, who surrendered themselves were properly profiled and the state government organised training for them in various trades under its skills acquisition programmes.“The State Governor, who already gave them amnesty, directed us to profile them and find out where they can fit in for skills acquisition and human empowerment. Out of the 222 influential youths, 50 of them volunteered to help the police in fighting crimes and criminal activities in the state.
