    Kidnapping Gang: Watch Your Utterances, Police Tells El-Rufai

    The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has warned former Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai to guard his utterances, saying that, contrary to his claim, there is no kidnapping gang within the NPF.

    The Kaduna Command of the NPF was reacting to El-Rufaiโ€™s post on his verified X handle where he alleged one of his former Commissioners, Malam Jafaru Sani, was abducted by โ€œUba Saniโ€™s kidnapping gang,โ€ claiming to be Police.

    In a statement by Kaduna Police Commandโ€™s Public Relations Officer, DSP Mansir Hassan the Police said they have the legal, legitimate and constitutional right to arrest and investigate whoever is alleged or suspected to have committed an offence.

    The Police said: โ€œThe attention of the Kaduna State Police Command has been drawn to a statement credited to former Governor of the State, Malam Nasir El Rufai, on his X handle, wherein he alleged that one of his former Commissioner Malam Jafaru Sani, was abducted by what he referred to as โ€œUba Saniโ€™s kidnapping gang,โ€™โ€™ which he claimed to be the police.
    โ€œThe former Governor further stated that Jafaru was remanded in prison custody by a magistrate without any police First Information Report or charges by the State Ministry of Justice.

    โ€œTo put the records straight, there is no kidnapping gang within the Nigerian Police Force. The Nigerian Police as an institution, is created by the 1999 Constitution. The statutes mandate the Police to maintain law and order.

    โ€œIn the discharge of this constitutional duty, the police have the legal, legitimate and constitutional right to arrest and investigate whoever is alleged or suspected to have committed an offence.

    โ€œIndividuals, corporate organisations and government etc, Have the right to lodge a formal complaint to police and the police have mandate to investigate such allegations and when itโ€™s believed that an offence has been committed such matter be prosecuted or referred to court.

    โ€œThe Command urge the members of public, especially individuals who have held positions of authority, to exercise caution and desist from frivolous and malicious allegations against any security agencyโ€.

    โ€œWe urge individuals to always verify allegations before making any public statements. Making unverified allegations against security agencies not only mislead the public but also have the potentials of undermining the law enforcement agencies.

    โ€œCitizens are encouraged to seek legal redress if they feel aggrieved, rather than resort to inflammatory comments that will heat up the polity.โ€
