The Nigeria Police Force has debunked the news circulating on social media of how bombs were being planted in every area of the Federal Capital Territory by some individuals.
Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi in a press statement on Saturday described the rumour as surprising and disheartening from some individuals who are presumed to be peace ambassadors and patriotic agents of national unity in Nigeria.
He stated that "I dont think it will do our country any good to continually spread such fearful rumours to further create more panic to citizens and residents of the FCT and Nigeria at large.
Adejobi reiterate that the Federal Capital Territory is safe and there is no imminent threat, neither is the FCT being saturated with bombs as speculated in the news.
The police therefore urge residents of the FCT and Nigerians at large to disregard this fake news which was purportedly sponsored to create fear in people and heat up the polity.
He said the Police will continue to adopt all effective operational strategies to decimate the activities of non-state actors and other criminal elements in the country.
