Kebbi Police Probe Rumours of Sai Malam Group’s Return in Argungu

The Kebbi State Police Command is investigating reports that the Sai Malam group has resurfaced in Argungu Local Government Area. Officers say they are acting on credible intelligence and are verifying the authenticity of these claims. The command clarified that Sai Malam is not designated as a terrorist organisation under any proscription order. Earlier arrests in Zuru in February 2026 led to prosecutions linked to alleged criminal activities involving this group. Investigators recovered suspected counterfeit currencies—including naira, US dollars, CFA francs and Libyan dinars—and items believed to be tied to ritual or occult practices. No firearms were found among the seized materials. The police appealed to residents to remain calm and support security efforts by providing useful information that could aid the ongoing investigation.
