The Kogi State Police Command has dismissed a trending video purportedly on Abuja-Lokoja road, claiming that Fulani militia have loaded two trailers with guns and have kidnapped passengers in seven buses.
In a statement issued on Friday by the Kogi State Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP William Aya which was made available to journalists said, the video was a product of mischief.
The Command said, it swiftly moved into action and the intelligence at its disposal showed that such didn’t happen on Abuja-Lokoja Highway even as the poster was not specific where the incident took place
The Command said the allegation was not only the figment of the imagination of the author, but totally false, malicious and highly mischievous.
The incident as alleged did not happened in Kogi State and such was not reported anywhere in the State.
The police went further to challenge the author to mentioned the specific location where the purported incident happened, rather than being vague.
Consequently, the Commissioner of Police urge all peace loving citizens of Kogi State and the country at large to discountenance such mischievous information trending on social media and go about their lawful businesses and activities please.
