The FCT Police Command has debunked a viral news in some sections of the social media purporting that ”a community Chief got kidnapped close to Mopol 45, along Dei-Dei/Zuba axis”.
A statement signed by FCT Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Yusuf Mariam on Wednesday categorically said that there is no record of such incident as at 2230hrs of Tuesday 17th August, 2021 in the FCT.
He noted that the Command enjoins members of the public to cooperate with the police and other security agencies by providing prompt and useful information rather than circulate fake news capable of causing undue panic among residents of the FCT.
The Police spokesperson therefore reaffirmed the command's resolve towards providing adequate security within the FCT.
"The Command further implores residents to report all suspicious movements, emergency or distress, through these numbers: *08032003913, 08061581938, 07057337653,08028940883* and to report the conduct of Police officers, call the Public Complaint Bureau (PCB) number: 09022222352", he added.
