The FCT Police Command has debunked the alleged threat of attack on Kungaboku Community, describing it as fake. This was contained in a statement signed by SP. Josephine Adeh, Police Public Relations Officer, FCT Police Command, Abuja.
The statement reads: “The FCT Police Command is aware of publications by Vanguard and Daily Trust E-newspapers on the 15th and 16th of March 2026 respectively, alleging that suspected bandits sent a letter through a student of a private school in Kungaboku Community, threatening to attack the village and the neighbouring Paze Community in retaliation for the neutralization of their commander during a recent security operation led by the FCT Police Command Anti-Kidnapping Unit in collaboration with personnel of the 7 Guards Battalion (Guards Brigade).
“Following thorough investigation into the matter, the Command wishes to inform the general public that the said letter originated from mischief makers seeking to spread fear and panic within the community for their mischievous purposes.
“The Command, therefore, calls on members of the affected communities and the general public to disregard the letter and remain calm. However, residents are enjoined to remain vigilant and security conscious at all times.
“The Command has also deployed personnel in and around the affected communities to forestall any possible attack and to further reassure residents of their safety and the Command’s commitment to the protection of lives and property across the Federal Capital Territory.
“Members of the public are further advised to promptly report any suspicious persons or activities through the Command’s emergency lines:08032003913, 08061581938, ” it also added.
