The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has dismissed reports of alleged security threats in Kuje Area Council, describing the claims as false and misleading.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, said the reports were the handiwork of individuals attempting to incite fear and panic among residents.
The Command clarified that there is no credible security threat in the affected areas, including Wowo Garage in Chibiri, Shadadi Village, Shetuko Village, Kango Village, and Passali.
According to the police, the visible presence of security personnel and ongoing patrols across the communities are part of proactive measures to ensure public safety and should not be misconstrued as signs of imminent danger.
The statement further revealed that the Commissioner of Police, FCT Command, CP Ahmed Muhammed Sanusi, has ordered the deployment of additional personnel to the areas to prevent any potential security breach and reassure residents.
Residents were urged to remain calm, vigilant, and security-conscious, while promptly reporting any suspicious activities through the Command’s emergency lines to help sustain peace and protect lives and property.
The Police Command reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding lives and property across the Federal Capital Territory.
