The Kaduna State Police Command has debunked the recent video circulating on social media, alleging that an Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) was hijacked by protesters.
This was contained in a statement issued by the state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan and made available to newsmen in Kaduna on Monday.
The statement noted that “The Command wish to debunk this rumour and provide the public with the correct details of the incident.
“The video in question depicts a situation where the driver of the APC was confronted by a large group of protesters. In the face of escalating tension, the driver made a professional and commendable decision to avoid the use of live ammunition.
It said that instead, he employed a tactical manoeuvre to safely escape the scene, ensuring the safety of both the protesters and the officers involved.
“It is important to stress that at no point was the APC hijacked by hoodlums. The vehicle and its personnel remained under the control of the Kaduna State Police Command throughout the incident.
The Commissioner of Police (CP), Audu Ali Dabigi, however, urged the people of Kaduna to continue to abide by the law and maintain peace and order.
“We appreciate the support and cooperation of the public in these challenging times and remain committed to ensuring the safety and security of all residents,” the statement added.
