62 Suspected men Arrested Over Violence At Niger APC Primaries.
Sixty-two suspected political thugs have been arrested in Niger State following the violence that rocked the Local Government primaries conducted by the All Progressives Congress.
The Public Relations Officer of the State Police Command, Mr Abubakar Dan-Inna, confirmed this in a statement on Sunday.
Dan-Inna explained that the suspects arrested by the police in five local government areas were in possession of weapons and some of the items recovered from them, according to him, included a vehicle loaded with machetes, daggers and knives.
The Command’s spokesman noted that the suspects have been charged to court for unlawful assembly, disturbance of public peace, and for sponsoring thuggery in accordance with the state’s Anti-Thuggery Law.
He added that the Commissioner of Police in the state, Abubakar Usman, vowed that the Command under his watch would not allow disgruntled elements to continue to harass innocent citizens.
