(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The Nigeria Police Force has debunked claims that bombs have been buried across Abuja.

Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday.

According to the FPRO, noted that it was worrisome that some persons were spreading false information after the terror alert by the United States, the United Kingdom, and others.

Adejobi lamented that among the individuals spreading the false alarm are supposed peace ambassadors and patriotic agents of national unity in Nigeria.

He stated that the broadcast of fearful rumours to further cause more panic in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) would do the country no good.

Adejobi stated that Abuja is safe and there is no imminent threat and the capital territory is not surrounded with bombs as speculated.

The police advised residents “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.”
