The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has reacted to a report that terrorists have infiltrated its area of responsibility.
The reaction was contained in a statement by the spokesperson of the FCT Police Command, Josephine Adeh.
The statement said: “The Command has also caught the wave of unofficial write ups emanating from malicious or attention-seeking individuals, targeted at promoting fear and apprehension in the mind of residents, suggesting that the territory is under a high infiltration of terrorists who are hibernating on mountain tops and hills.
“While the police and sister agencies are working relentlessly to rid the FCT of criminal elements, and to sustain the relative peace enjoyed in the territory, members of the public are strongly urged to eschew the generation or circulation of any message not from an official stable and to go about their lawful businesses without the fear of harassment or molestation of any kind.”
Recall that the Medium Correctional Centre in Kuje, Abuja was attacked less than two weeks ago.
During the attack on July 5, 2022, for which the Islamic State of West Africa Province has claimed credit, several inmates, including 64 Boko Haram members, were set free.
