The Enugu State Command has debunked the report alleging a reign of terror and the killing of 25 persons by insurgents in the state as entirely false and deliberately misleading.
According to a press release on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, signed by the Enugu State Command Police Public Relations Officer, SP Daniel Ndukwe, the Command categorically stated that this sensational report is a calculated attempt to misinform the public and undermine the efforts of the police and other security agencies in maintaining the prevailing peace and security in Enugu State.
“Upon thorough review, the report was found to be baseless, containing fabricated names and incidents that never occurred in Enugu State. Furthermore, the report is speculative and lacks credibility, particularly in its use of vague terms such as “at least”, which have no place in factual journalism.
“The Commissioner of Police, CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa, psc, while acknowledging the media’s duty to publish news, including attention-grabbing headlines, strongly condemns the dissemination of such inaccurate, baseless, and mischievous reports designed to mislead and cause unnecessary panic. He reaffirms the unwavering commitment of the Police and other security agencies to combat crime and criminality in Enugu State, the statement concluded.
