The Chinese Government has denied reports it has opened police stations in Nigeria and in over 20 countries in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa.

A report by human rights watchdog, Safeguard Defenders, titled ‘110 Overseas Chinese Transnational Policing Gone Wild’, had alleged the Chinese Government set up the “overseas police stations” across Africa, Europe and America, to crack “down on all kinds of illegal and criminal activities involving overseas Chinese.”

The report claimed that the move by the Chinese Government was aimed at tackling the increasing criminal activities of its citizens abroad.

Refuting the report, an official of the Chinese Embassy in Abuja, said it was a fake report made by an anti-China human rights NGO in Europe.

“There is no Chinese police station in Nigeria or others.”

“What is there is only a category of outreach service to Chinese communities.”

“China doesn’t have any intention or spare energy to run police station outside”, the official said.

NAF air strikes kill scores of bandits in Kaduna, free kidnap victims

The Nigerian Air Force said on Saturday that its fighter aircraft conducted strategic airstrikes targeting major bandit enclaves located within Dunya Hill and Batauna Forest in Giwa, Kaduna State, resulting in the neutralisation of many combatants as well as the obliteration of significant stockpiles of weapons and resources critical to the bandits’ operations.

Director of NAF Public Relations, Air Commodore Olusola Akinboyewa, while disclosing this, said, “In a sign of the operation’s success, multiple reports have emerged detailing the escape and liberation of several kidnapping victims, who have managed to regain freedom amidst the chaos inflicted upon their captors.”.

He said, “In furtherance of the intense air interdiction campaign in Northwest Nigeria nicknamed Operation Farautar Mujiya, the Air Component of Operation Fansan Yamma on November 12, 2024, conducted strategic airstrikes targeting major bandit enclaves located within Dunya Hill and Batauna Forest in Giwa, Kaduna State.

“These areas have long served as safe havens for bandit groups due to their dense vegetation and the natural protection provided by an array of caves.

“The objective of the strikes was to dismantle the entrenched criminal networks and degrade their capacity to operate effectively.

“The airstrikes were preceded by intensive intelligence gathering that meticulously identified high-value targets, including key logistics hubs and hidden armouries used by the bandits.

“The aerial assault resulted in the neutralisation of many combatants as well as the obliteration of significant stockpiles of weapons and resources critical to the bandits’ operations.

“Since the commencement of this intensified campaign, credible sources from local communities have confirmed that bandits are on the run, their once-secure enclaves in disarray.
