No Soldier Was Killed In Anambra, Police Insist
The Anambra State Police Command has refuted the claims by some online and national dailies (Not Vision Newspaper) that unknown gunmen killed twenty one soldiers in the state.
The disclaimer was contained in a press statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer(PPRO) for Anambra Command, Tochukwu Ikenga (SP).
"Anambra State Police Command 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.
"The Command wishes to state that the report is untrue, a product of fiction, and the handiwork of mischief-makers.
"Also, the Command in dismay at the news, has observed that the said hospital mentioned in the report, where the corpses of the soldiers are allegedly kept, does not exist in Awka, the State Capital.
"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.
"Therefore, the Command shall not hesitate to invoke relevant cyber laws on persons found wanting in this regard," he said
Ikenga urged the members of the public to disregard the report.
