……………police urge residents to avoid fake news
The FCT Police Command has debunked an erroneous publication being circulated in some sections of the social media insinuating that Pastor Evans Unaegbu was attacked and killed by gunmen at his worship centre along Jikwoyi axis.
According to a press release signed by the FCT Police Command Public Relations Officer, ASP Yusuf Mariam, she said that contrary to this speculation, in prompt response to a distress call from a resident of Jikwoyi who resides near to the late Pastor’s worship center, a team of Police Detectives from Jikwoyi Division immediately visited the scene, where they found the late Pastor Evans in an unconscious state and took him to the hospital where the doctor certified him dead.
The Command spokesperson said however, preliminary investigation does not suggest any form of violence as no mark of violence or struggle was visibly seen on his body.
“In view of the above, the Commissioner of Police CP. Bala Ciroma has ordered a thorough investigation to include a postmortem on the body to ascertain the true cause of death. He further urged residents to remain calm, law-abiding, avoid circulating fake news and allow the law take its cause, ASP Yusuf said.
The Command reaffirms its undeterred resolve to secure lives and property within the FCT as it implores residents to report all suspicious movements, emergency or distress to the Police
