The Nigeria Police said they know certain things about US airstrikes on terrorists’ enclave in Sokoto State but chose to leave it for the military to address.
Force Spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin, made this revelation on Tuesday on Tuesday when he featured in an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television
According to him, “The police engage a lot in intelligent sharing, not just gathering. Yes, as a Police Force, we know certain things about U.S. strikes in Nigeria, but we don’t want to talk about it. We would rather leave it as a defence matter for the military to address.
“We also got the information about the debris of the US operation extending to Offer in Kwara state. We immediately deployed our men there to ensure that people remain safe and do not toy with those things.
“So, we rendered the area safe. As far as that is concerned, we were on ground to ensure there was absolute safety for people.”
