REPORT ON KIDNAP, RESCUE OF 20 P0LICEMEN IN YOBE STATE IS FAKE NEWS --- POLICE

 

The  Yobe State Police Command has  described as fake news  trending 

on both social media at  www.crimechannels.com and the mainstream media platforms by  Channels Television  that  20 Police personnel were  kidnapped by Boko-Haram/ISWAP insurgents during an attack on  Buni-Yadi Police Division in Gujba Local Govt. Area of the State.

The alleged fake news according to the police added that the 20 policemen  were rescued by Troops of the Nigerian Army (Operation Hadin Kai) 

ASP Dungus Abdulkarim, thd spokesperson for the Yobe State police command in a press statement revealed that the news is disheartening , as it is not only a  fake news/story but aimed at putting the police in bad light as the report is devoid of any element of a genuine story as the claim  failed to disclose the policemen's identities; their ranks; the formations they belong to; or which medical facility they were taken to for check-ups; or who were they handed over to; or when and where were they handed over to.

The Yobe state command stated that  the absence of all these vital information in the publication, means that the story is nothing but false, misleading and a misinformation 

The statement read " The news item was further replicated in many online publications, such as neptuneprime.com.ng, etc has been published in many media outlets, without seeking for clarification from the requisite police authorities. 

It’s even more worrisome that such misleading story is alleged to have emanated from military sources" 

However, in view of the sensitive nature of the issue, and the prevalent security situation in the State, it’s deemed imperative that such negative impression must be erased from the minds of the public by setting the records straight. It’s equally important that the actual facts and circumstances surrounding the incident must be brought to light, for the sake of the families of police personnel serving in Yobe State." 

In this regard therefore, the Command stated the story or news item (on the alleged kidnaping of 20 police personnel in Buni-Yadi and their rescue by troops) is misleading, an utter fabrication and fake news, as no single police personnel was kidnapped from Buni-Yadi town on the day of the alleged incident, or at all;

On Tuesday 30th November 2021, suspected members of Boko-Haram/ISWAP insurgents had attacked the Buni-Yadi Police Station in Gujba Local Govt. Area of the State and burnt down the structures, but there was NEITHER any loss of life, NOR was any Police personnel kidnapped, or declared missing. All the conventional personnel of the Division, as well as the PMF personnel, had been accounted after the incident;

 

"The general public is therefore, by this PRESS RELEASE from the Yobe State Police Command, enjoined to discountenance/disregard/ignore the said ‘Kidnap & Rescue Claim’ as false, mischievous and fake!

 While reiterating the commitment and dedication of Police personnel currently serving in or deployed to Yobe State, in sustaining the relative peace and security in the State, we call on the entire members of the public to continue to cooperate and support the command, as always".
