The Nigeria Police Force has refuted circulating social media reports alleging the presence of 79 terrorists in the Lugbe area of Abuja, describing the claims as false and misleading.
Amid rising security concerns in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), the police reassured residents that there is no intelligence to support such allegations.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, dismissed the viral message—widely circulated on WhatsApp and other platforms—as a deliberate attempt to incite panic and disrupt peace in the city.
