Anambra State Police Command says the report that 21 Soldiers were killed by gunmen is misleading, unfounded, and false.
Police Public Relations Officer, Anambra State Command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga in a release made available to Angel Network News (ANN) maintained that the Command wishes to state that the report is untrue, a product of fiction, and the handiwork of mischief-makers.
According to the PPRO, the Command in dismay at the news, has observed that the said hospital mentioned in the report, where the corpses of the soldiers are allegedly kept, does not exist in Awka, the State Capital.
“Further inquiries were made by the Command, showing that there is no record of such an incident or otherwise, but deliberate acts by unscrupulous elements are to cause tension in the state. Therefore, the Command shall not hesitate to invoke relevant cyber laws on persons found wanting in this regard.
“However, the Command urges the public to disregard the report.
