A few hours ago some panic was spread on social media over bandits barricading the Kaduna-Abuja Road and kidnapping citizens plying the route.
The buzz in circulation is false and was presented by a group of social media enthusiasts who celebrate negative news.
This was contained in a statement issued by the state Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, a copy of which was made available to the Spectacles today.
According to the statement, “the preliminary operational feedback showed that fleeing bandits escaping a military onslaught attempted to pass through a narrow corridor around Kasarami general area of Kaduna-Abuja road.
The troops, on receving this intelligence, hurriedly moved to the location and engaged them in the adjoining forest.
The Kaduna State Government will update members of the general public when more detailed feedback is received.
The Kaduna State Government does not deny the existence of security challenges, and continues to work assiduously with relevant military and security agencies”.
