The Rivers State Police Command has issued a statement dismissing reports of riots and arson in the state, particularly the alleged burning of the residence of former Governor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
The Command described the reports as “entirely false, baseless, and a deliberate attempt by mischief makers to incite unrest and spread fear.”
According to the Command’s Spokesperson, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, there is no record of any such incident, and normalcy prevails across the state.
The Command urged the general public to disregard these unfounded claims, which are intended to cause panic and destabilize the peace and security in the state.
The Police also warned those responsible for spreading the false reports to desist from engaging in activities that could incite public disorder.
The Command stated that the full weight of the law will be brought to bear on individuals or groups found guilty of spreading misinformation or attempting to disrupt the peace.
The Rivers State Police Command reassured residents of its commitment to ensuring their safety and security.
Citizens are advised to remain calm, rely on credible sources for information, and report any suspicious activities to law enforcement agencies.
