The Katsina State Police Command has dismissed a media report alleging that the Katsina State Governor, Aminu Bello Masari, has passed a vote of no confidence in the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Alkali Usman Baba.
In a statement by the State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Gambo Isah, the command described the publication as false, fake, mischievous and calculated attempt to put the image of the Nigeria Police Force into disrepute.
The command further stated that Alkali Usman Baba visited Katsina State Police Command on a one day working visit and as the tradition demands, he paid a courtesy visit on the governor of state.
It said the IGP was warmly received by the State Governor, some members of the state executive council, the legislature, the Deputy Governor, the State Chief Judge, and Senator representing Katsina Southern Senatorial District, among other important personalities, including journalists from the Katsina state correspondents’ chapel.
The command emphasised that there was no time the state governor made such remarks of no confidence on the Inspector-General of Police, during the visit, adding that the report was the only imagination of the reporter who mischievously crafted the fake story of vote of no confidence.
The command also urged members of the public to discountenance the fake news, as the Nigeria Police Force will not be distracted by the evil machinations of fifth columnists who are hell bent on feeding the public with falsehood intended to cause panic and disaffection.
