POLICE DEBUNK FAKE KIDNAPPING OF 200 PEOPLE ON ABUJA-KADUNA HIGHWAY.

The Kaduna State Police Command has denied reports of a mass kidnapping of 150 to 200 individuals along the Abuja-Kaduna Highway, describing the claims as "entirely fabricated and without basis in fact". 

A statement by the command spokesman, Mansir Hassan, emphasized that there have been no recorded incidents of kidnapping on that route in the past two years, due to constant surveillance and regular patrols by the police, military, and other security agencies.

Urging the public to rely on verified and official sources of information to avoid spreading false information that could incite panic and disrupt public order, Hassan said the Commissioner of Police, Rabiu Muhammad, has warned that individuals found responsible for sharing fabricated information may face questioning, investigation, and prosecution.

The command, which noted that the Kaduna State government, in collaboration with security forces, has been working to ensure safety and security for all residents, reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding lives and property, and urging the public to cooperate with them to achieve this goal.
