Enugu State Police Command has dismissed as false a viral video circulating on social media which alleged that persons were killed by herdsmen at Awgu Junction along the Enugu/Port-Harcourt Expressway.
In a statement published via Facebook on Monday, the Command’s public relations officer, SP Daniel Ndukwe, said that investigations have revealed that the incident depicted in the video did not occur as portrayed, and that there is no credible evidence to support the claim.
“The Command unequivocally refutes the claim and states that the narrative being circulated is false, misleading, and intended to cause unnecessary fear, panic, and tension among residents,” the statement reads.
