Josephine Adeh The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has urged residents to disregard rumours spreading within the city, alleging that kidnappers in police uniform were on the prowl. Spokesperson of the Command, SP Josephine Adeh, who dispelled the rumour, noted that the FCT Commissioner of Police, CP Haruna Garba, ”hereby wishes to inform the public that contrary to the falsehood making the rounds on media platforms, alleging that kidnappers who adorned the Police uniform to perpetrate their illicit acts, have kidnapped 17 persons from the Apo area in Abuja, is clearly a figment of the authors’ imagination, as no incident of such happened within the FCT. “In the same vein, the CP enjoins non-state actors, who have been engaging the Police emergency lines in their mischievous posts, aimed at misleading members of the public and those submitting same to obtain loans to desist from such and only use the emergency lines for its intended purpose as deliberate steps will be taken to arrest and prosecute the purveyors of these illegal acts. “The Commissioner urges the FCT residents to cooperate with the police for improved service delivery.
