The Public Relations Officer of the Niger State Police Command DSP Wasiu Abiodun has debunked reports that 37 people were killed by terrorists in two communities in the state saying that 13 people were killed.

Abiodun who made this refutal in a press statement made available to our correspondent in Minna on Thursday said the figures earlier reported were incorrect.

The statement read, “The attention of the command has been drawn to reports that 37 persons were killed in Nakundna and Wurukuchi communities, Shiroro LGA. “The command wishes to state that on 10/01/2022 at about 1000hrs, suspected bandits/terrorists attacked some villagers who were harvesting crops in their farm at Nakundna village near Kaure in Shiroro LGA, and unfortunately, thirteen persons lost their lives as a result of the attack.

“Details of the incident were not immediately available due to the rough terrain and lack of communication network in the area.” He assured residents that the police and other security agencies would not relent in the ongoing onslaught against terrorists and other forms of criminality in the state.

I like nigeria police they always find excuse for their failure

Can you see this useless PoliceNG? So, it's 13 not 37 as if even 1 person brutally murdered on your watch is alright! OK, ONLY 13 were killed, we gree. How many of the criminals have been apprehended for prosecution?

The police duty is to always reduce the number of people killed.

Funny, really funny how what we are debating now is the number of persons terrorists killed. Why can’t the discuss be about the fact that terrorists have ended. Human lives have become so cheap in Nigeria.

Even if no one person Dem kill, what matters is that Nigerians are not safe, they are endangered by a single race

13 or 37, human beings are human beings. Is blood not running on their veins?

Believe Zoo security at ur peril

Security agencies always lies

That's your own story and you can not force us to take it, what they killed is 37 QED

May their souls reset in peace

Una de even talk am, even na 1 una no suppose de boast, so we no fit de for the country in peace

And what are doing about it, than you dancing jarates songs with your dark unwashed uniforms, what befell those, are knocking on your Windows, continue to cover for them and not rise against them, Nigeria police so untrained.

The 13 person's no be human being them Chai.

So, the job of the police is now to take a body count, and not to prevent it! Up Naija....... Smh.

13 not 37 are they not human being God when will this killing stop in Nigeria

Them the always lie

Person no fit dey this Nigeria again

Even if it is one person, every life is important.

We understand the way our police use to do their counting. Even 13 innocent souls sent to God is too much to bear, where the lives of human beings are valued.

How many people will die before this government agrees that too many people have died? 🤔

Ati 13 ati 37, normal normal he suppose be like that?

It’s well

As if the 13 person killed were goats and didn't deserve to be protected. Ndi ara.

Even if it's 13,does it make sense ?
