Anambra State Police Command says it is aware of a misleading, unfounded, and false report titled Gunmen Kill 21 Soldiers in Anambra recently peddled by some online media and national dailies.
In a statement signed by the State Police Public Relations Officer PPRO SP Tochukwu Ikenga, and made available to journalists on Wednesday, 8th May, 2024, the Command informed that the report is untrue, a product of fiction, and the handiwork of mischief-makers.
The statement also said that the Command in dismay at the news, has observed that the said hospital mentioned in the report, where the corpses of the soldiers were allegedly kept, does not exist in Awka, the State Capital.
It said that further inquiries were made by the Command, showing that there is no record of such an incident or otherwise, but deliberate acts by unscrupulous elements to cause tension in the state.
It, therefore, warned that the Command shall not hesitate to invoke relevant cyber laws on persons found wanting in that regard.
The Command urged the public to disregard the report.
