Kaduna State government has debunked report of shooting and kidnapping on Kaduna-Abuja Road.
The Overseeing Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan in a statement says the State Government is aware of reports being circulated mainly on WhatsApp groups, detailing alleged shooting and kidnapping on the Bishini corridor of the Kaduja-Abuja Road on Wednesday.
It says all traditional rulers, community leaders and security forces from within and around Katari and Bishini general areas have not confirmed such incident as of today Thursday.
In the same vein, physical tours and painstaking checks with credible human intelligence sources had not provided confirmation of the incident.
According to the statement, from the foregoing, the report is deemed false and should be disregarded.
“As always, the Kaduna State Government and security forces do not live in denial of security challenges. However, it is unhelpful and unpatriotic to thoughtlessly spread false reports”.
The statement maintains that, security forces are keeping constant watch on the Kaduna-Abuja Road and the general area will continue to sustain efforts towards citizens’ safety and security.
The Kaduna State Government will equally remain open, engaging and providing support for peace and security.
