The Commissioner of Police, Mamman Bitrus Giwa, warns mischief makers against spreading false rumors for whatever intent as the Command will not hesitate to invoke relevant provisions of the law against such culprits.
CP Giwa issued this warning in a press statement signed by the Enugu State Command Police Public Relations Officer, SP Daniel Ndukwe which refutes claims of herdsmen killing of persons at Awgu junction along Enugu-Portharcourt expressway.
“The Enugu State Police Command is aware of a viral video circulating on social media alleging that persons were killed by herdsmen at Awgu Junction, along Enugu/Port-Harcourt Expressway in the State.”
“The Command unequivocally refutes the claim and states that the narrative being circulated is false, misleading, and intended to cause unnecessary fear, panic, and tension among residents.”
“Preliminary findings indicate that the incident did not occur as portrayed in the video, and there is no report or credible evidence available to the Command to substantiate the allegation.”
“The Command condemns the deliberate spread of unverified and inflammatory information capable of undermining public peace, security, and harmonious coexistence among the people.”
“Consequently, members of the public are urged to disregard the video and desist from sharing or amplifying false information.”
“Individuals and groups involved in the deliberate creation or dissemination of misinformation are warned to desist forthwith, as the Command will not hesitate to invoke relevant provisions of the law against anyone found culpable.”
“Members of the public are therefore advised to always verify information through credible and official channels and promptly report any security concerns to the Police or other relevant security agencies.”
