Niger State Government has dismissed as false reports of protests in part of the state and therefore urged residents to go about their businesses without fear.
Also, Security Agents in the state have through the state government described the online report by a Daily Newspaper as untrue.
A statement signed by the Special Adviser to Governor Muhammed Umaru Bago, on Print Media, Aisha Wakaso, described the media report as unfounded and should therefore be disregarded by the people.
The Media online report has claimed that protests had commenced on the Abuja-Kaduna road in Niger State yesterday which was later discovered to be untrue.
“The Chairman of Suleja Local Government, Ishaku Bawa Naibi has confirmed that no protests occurred in his jurisdiction.

The government equally urged the media to be very objective in their official duties by avoiding sensationalism that could incite unrest or create unnecessary fear among the populace.
