The FCT Police Command has warned residents of the state to refrain from circulating fake information painting Abuja as unsecure. Spokesperson of the Command, SP Josephine Adeh who gave the warning on behalf of the Commissioner of Police, noted that it is imperative that individuals refrain from disseminating unverified information from the comfort of their homes, as it may incite unnecessary panic in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
“Instead, we encourage the public to responsibly share any pertinent information with the appropriate authorities.
“In Bwari, the Commissioner of Police, on January 3, 2024, diligently visited all communities in the region. During these visits, he engaged with community leaders, assessed security arrangements, and took proactive measures, including deploying additional personnel and an armored police vehicle. Despite these efforts, concerns have been raised about perceived inactivity.
“However, we would like to emphasize that revealing detailed security strategies publicly poses a risk to their effectiveness. We appreciate your cooperation and urge citizens to exercise restraint in sharing potentially misleading or mischievous posts. “Working in harmony with the police will undoubtedly contribute to a safer and more secure environment for all.”
