The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has described rumours circulating about alleged security threats within the Kuje area of the FCT as false and misleading.

The rumours, which went viral on social media, alleged the presence of security personnel on patrol, particularly around Wowo Garage in Chibiri, Shadadi Village, Shetuko Village, Kango Village and Passali.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Josephine Adeh, in a statement issued late on Thursday night, said, “Following a detailed investigation into these claims, the Command wishes to clearly state that these publications are false, misleading, and originate from mischief makers seeking to spread fear and panic within the community for their mischievous purposes.”

She added: “While robust deployments and routine patrols are ongoing within the area as a proactive measure to ensure public safety, they should not be misunderstood as indicators of possible threats.”

The Commissioner of Police, FCT Command, CP Ahmed Muhammed Sanusi, PhD, FCAI, has also deployed personnel in and around the communities to forestall any possible security breach and to further reassure residents of their safety and the command’s commitment to the protection of lives and property across the Federal Capital Territory.

Members of the public are further advised to remain security-conscious and promptly report any suspicious persons or activities to the command’s emergency lines: 08032003913, 08061581938.
