The Rivers State Police Command has debunked false claims of Fulani herdsmen's attack in the State.
Spokesperson of the Command, SP Grace Iringe-Koko in a statement, said the viral video circulating on social media, falsely claiming Fulani herdsmen attack in Rivers State and were repelled by Ijaw youths is not true.
According to the statement, the claims and reports are entirely false, misleading, and designed to incite panic among the public.
The Command emphasizes that there have been no incidents or reports of Fulani herdsmen attacks in any part of the State. The fabricated narrative is a deliberate attempt by mischief makers to undermine the prevailing peace and stability in the State.
SP Iringe-Koko urged the public to disregard the misinformation and exercise restraint in sharing unverified content that could spark unnecessary tension or damage the State's reputation.
The Police Command, is working in synergy with other security agencies, remains committed to protecting lives and property, preventing crime, and maintaining peace and order across Rivers State.
Robust security measures are in place, including operational patrol teams, surveillance units, and tactical squads.
The public is advised to remain calm, be vigilant, and always verify information through official channels before sharing.
