No Bus filled With Students Was Hijacked In Rivers State -Police

 



The Rivers State Police Command says it's  attention has been drawn to an   online publication that a vehicle conveying students of Kenpoly was hijacked by hoodlums who are demanding for two million naira as ransom.


The command Image maker Mr Nnamdi Omoni in a press release says

in recent times, the Ogoni Communities have enjoyed fragile peace after the arrest and subsequent death of Bobisky the most dreaded Kidnapper, who was declared wanted by the State Government with a Bounty of #30 million Naira.

That the purported Kidnap or hijack of a Commercial Bus carrying Students is false baseless and not verifiable but only exists in the imagination of mischief makers. 

Mr Omoni stated that preliminary Investigation carried out, including interfaces and interviews with the School Authorities revealed that no such thing happened. 


And it is  important to note that no family or parents reported a case of missing person and more importantly that the Polytechnic in question has been on Holidays and only resumed on the 1st of March 2021 with scanty activities, which clearly negatives the online report.
 
 The statement enjoined the public to disregard the report, as same is fake  news and only intended to overheat the security situation in the State. 

He added that the CP has ordered Investigation into the report and in the same vein warned all harbingers of fake news to desist forthwith or face the full weight of the law.
