Police deny reports of abduction of over 100 worshippers in Kaduna
The Kaduna police command and local authorities have dismissed reports that over 100 worshippers were abducted in Kajuru LGA, describing the claims as falsehoods spread by “conflict entrepreneurs” seeking to disrupt the state’s relative peace.
Speaking on Monday after a state security council meeting at Sir Kashim Ibrahim House in Kaduna, Muhammad Rabiu, the state’s commissioner of police, challenged those spreading the reports to provide names and details of the victims.
“Anyone who has evidence should come forward with the list of kidnapped persons and their particulars,” Rabiu said.
The police commissioner warned rumourmongers against attempts to derail the state’s relative calm, vowing that the full weight of the law would be applied to those spreading falsehoods.
