Zamfara State Police Command has denied a video clip circulating on social media that, a police station was attacked in the state.
In a statement by the police command Public Relations Officer SP Shehu Muhammad said “the attention of Zamfara State Police Command has been drawn to a fake video clip currently circulating on social media platforms revealing an attack on Police Station and killing of Policemen by gunmen which was connected to Zamfara State”.
Shehu Muhammad further said “the connection of the video to Zamfara State is a calculated attempt by some unscrupulous elements to create apprehension and confusion into the minds of the general public and to further ridicule the good image of the state”.
From the crime statistics of the Command, no police station/Formation or any security outfit in the state that was attack by bandits or any group of criminals in the last two years”.
Shehu therefore called on the members of the public to disregard the video clip and go about their legitimate business.
The Command also called on the public to desist from spreading fake news especially on security matters noting that any person arrested in connection with that will be arrested and prosecuted.
