The Nigeria Police Force, Sokoto State Command, has debunked the rumour of attacks in any mosque in the state.
A statement signed by the spokesman of the command, ASP Sanusi Abubakar, disclosed that it was just a rumour or imagination of the writer of such a story.
According to the statement, “The attention of Sokoto State Police Command has been drawn to the above purported news in circulation on social media which emanates from an online medium that, arm bandits break into Sokoto State mosque and kidnapped 48 worshippers.
“In view of the above, the Command is using this medium to debunk such fabricated story capable of misleading the general public and to create chaos into the minds of law-abiding citizens of Sokoto State.
“It is pertinent to state that members of the public should be wary against deception and lies concocted by unverified news websites and further replicated in many online publications.”
The statement further assured that the Sokoto State Police Command is very much aware of the prevalent security situation in the state, and it’s working tirelessly for a lasting solution in conjunction with other sister agencies.
“While reiterating our commitment in sustaining peace in the state, we call on members of the public to cooperate with security agencies in the fight against banditry and other crimes,” he added.
