The Nigeria Police Force has dismissed viral social media claims alleging that one of its helicopters was used to deliver food to bandits in Kogi State, calling the reports “false and misleading.”
The denial came via a statement on Tuesday from Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who clarified that the video circulating online—showing a police helicopter landing in a remote, bushy area—was taken during a legitimate security operation in Obajana, Kogi State, on Saturday, May 10, 2025.
