The Adamawa Police command has warned people to desist from issuing inflammatory statements that may likely caused panic in the society.
The warning was in reaction to a report credited to one Muhammed Murtala that 13 members of Adamawa state branch of Vigilante Group of Nigeria have been killed and 20 others injured in crime fighting activities in the state in the last two months.
In a press statement signed by the Commands spokesman Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, Deputy Superintendent of Police that the said Murtala was not the state commandant of the Group as claimed in a statement issued to News Agency of Nigeria NAN.
The statement read in part “to keep the fact straight, such statement is a fabricated lies issued by the said Muhammed Murtala who is not even the Commander of the said Vigilante group”.
The police command therefore called on the public to disregard such statement as it is aimed at frustrating the effort of the Adamawa state Police Command in its fight against crime in the state.
It also called on the law abiding citizens to go about their legitimate businesses as police will not relent in its efforts of protecting lives and properties of citizens.
