Enugu residents are hereby enjoined to disregard claims making the rounds on the social media that unknown gunmen, seeking to enforce sit-at-home in Enugu, are on the prowl, shooting at Abakpa, Emene and other places, and forcing people back to their houses.
The fact remains that Enugu State is too hot for the daredevil gunmen, seeking to enforce sit-at-home in the state. They had tried to replicate what reportedly happened at Ishieke, Ebonyi State on Tuesday in Enugu this morning, but were capably repelled by a crack team of the security agents who had proactively preempted their targets. They were capably engaged and their target operation foiled, whereupon they took to their heels in their Sienna bus, seeking to escape. They are currently on the run as the security men are on their trail.
There was no shooting in neither Abakpa nor Emene as insinuated and being circulated by mischief makers on the social media with a view to scare the people. Adequate security measures are in place to guarantee the safety of lives and property in the entire state
The general public is hereby advised to go about their businesses without fear. There are no such cases of shooting in Enugu as are being alleged and circulated on the social media. Disregard the video clips being circulated. They are fake and did not take place anywhere in Enugu State.
