The police in Niger said three men of the Nigeria Air

in Minna.
The Police Public Relations Officer
(PPRO) in the state, Mr. Richard Oguche, made this known to journalists in
Minna on Saturday.
“This afternoon, six NAF men went to
Tudun Wada police station and attacked officers and men on duty with jack
knives and belts.
“The men were mobilised from the
Minna NAF Base by a serving officer in Kano,” the News Agency of Nigeria quoted

He said the brother was arrested and
his motorcycle impounded for violating the law banning the use of motorcycles
in Minna from 7pm to 7am.
