Recall that Bago had ordered the structure’s demolition on May 29, 2023, during his inauguration speech, because it stood on a major water supply pipeline.
It was discovered that the station has sat on a major water supply pipeline for more than a decade and could impede the state government’s new strategy to improve water distribution.
In this regard, the state government has already provided a larger building to house the local police station.
Governor Bago confirmed that the IGP has approved the relocation of the police station to allow the Niger State government to carry out its plans to ensure adequate water supply for the people.

He stated, “We have discussed very pertinent issues with the IGP, including the police station in Chanchaga, and he has given his approval. He is in agreement with our change policy, which we will implement on Thursday.
“We are urging the public to stop building houses and other structures on public utility channels, including water pipelines and high-tension electricity lines.”
Moreover, he stated, “Those whose structures obstruct these facilities in various locations must relocate their property immediately, as the state government will no longer tolerate acts of sabotage against its utility infrastructure in the state.”
