Ignore Rumours, No ‘Secret’ Airport Serving As Drug Trafficking Site In Our State-Kebbi Govt
Kebbi State government on Wednesday reacted to rumours of the existence of a ‘secret’ airport in the state which allegedly serves as a drug trafficking site and has limited services and regulatory oversight.
The state government in a statement issued in Birnin Kebbi and made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by Governor Nasir Idris’ Special Adviser on Media, Mr Yahaya Sarki described the rumours of existence of a secret airport in the Argungun axis of the state as unfounded and baseless while urging members of the public to disregard the video posted on social media in this regard and its ‘mischievous’ content.
‘The attention of the Kebbi State Government has been drawn to a misleading and malicious video circulating on TikTok and other social media platforms, alleging the discovery of a so-called ‘secret Airport’ in Argungu Forest which is purportedly used for cocaine smuggling activities.
The entire content of the video is false, fabricated, and aimed at discrediting and tarnishing the good image of Kebbi State and its government. There has never been such an incident of drug trafficking or an illegal Airport operation anywhere in Argungu Local Government Area or any part of Kebbi State.
For the avoidance of doubt, the only existing Airport in Kebbi State is the Sir Ahmadu Bello International Airport, Birnin Kebbi. Argungu does not have, and has never had, any Airport, Airstrip, or related facility.
Furthermore, all the names and characters mentioned in the video are fictitious, and there are no official records or investigations by the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), or any other security agency to support such baseless claims.
The Kebbi State Government is deeply concerned about the deliberate spread of such falsehoods intended to mislead the public and generate unnecessary fear. The public is therefore strongly advised to disregard this fake and mischievous content in its entirety.
Kebbi State Government under Comrade Dr.Nasir Idris Kauran Gwandu’s able leadership remains a peaceful and law-abiding state committed to transparency, good governance, and cooperation with all federal security and anti-drug agencies’ the statement added–Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
