    Army Clarifies Arrest, Detention Of POS Operator In Plateau

    The Nigerian Army has clarified the arrest and detention of a Point of Sale (POS) operator, Nansak Selbar, in Plateau State, accusing him of facilitating kidnappings and receiving ransom payments for terrorist groups.

    The Army dismissed claims circulating on social media that Major General Nansak Shagaya risks a N100 million punishment for allegedly detaining Selbar illegally, describing such narratives as false and misleading.

    In a statement signed by Lt. Col. Aliyu Danja, Acting Deputy Director of Army Public Relations, the Army detailed the allegations against Selbar.

    “Mr. Nansak Selbar was arrested for facilitating kidnapping activities by receiving ransom payments on behalf of kidnappers. Investigations revealed his involvement in other acts detrimental to national security, including sourcing military uniforms and kits for bandits and defrauding unsuspecting individuals under the guise of Army recruitment,” the statement read.

    Relying on the Terrorism Prevention and Prohibition Act (TPPA) 2022, the Army secured a court order through a Motion Ex-Parte to detain Selbar for further investigation, with plans to transfer him to the appropriate agency for prosecution.

    The Army categorically denied that Selbar’s detention was at the instruction of Major General Nansak Shagaya, emphasizing that the suspect’s custody adheres to legal provisions.

    The statement described the allegations in the article, purportedly by Alex Giwa, as “spurious” and aimed at inciting public sentiment against the Army.

    The Army cautioned against the proliferation of fake news, highlighting its potential to create panic, confusion, and distrust between the public and security agencies.

    “We urge bloggers and media outlets to act responsibly and refrain from spreading false narratives,” the statement said.

    Reaffirming its commitment to ensuring safety, the Army called on the public to support its efforts by providing intelligence to combat criminal activities.

    “The 3 Division Nigerian Army remains dedicated to protecting lives and property. We urge the community to collaborate with us in flushing out criminal elements from society,” the statement concluded.
