Terror Threat: No Bombs Planted In Abuja — Police

The Nigeria Police has refuted claims that terrorists have planted bombs in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Debunking the reports in a statement on Saturday, the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi hinted that individuals who are “presumed to be peace ambassadors and patriotic agents of national unity in Nigeria” are the ones spreading falsehood.

“I don't think it will do our country any good to continually spread such fearful rumours to further create more panic among citizens and residents of the FCT and Nigeria at large.

“We still reiterate that the Federal Capital Territory is safe and there is no imminent threat, neither is the FCT being saturated with bombs as speculated in the news.

"We, therefore, urge residents of the FCT and Nigerians at large to disregard this fake news which was purportedly sponsored to create fear in our people and heat up the polity.

“We will continue to adopt all effective operational strategies to decimate the activities of non-state actors and other criminal elements in the country”, the statement reads.
