The Nigeria Police Force has debunked a viral video claiming a terrorist attack in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, stating that the claims are false and misleading. The police have arrested a suspect, Pam Joseph, for creating and sharing the video, which used footage from online platforms to create panic.
The police emphasized that citizens’ right to freedom of expression does not include spreading misinformation that threatens public peace and national security. The suspect is in custody and will face charges upon investigation completion.
The Nigeria Police Force reassures its commitment to safeguarding public order and national security, monitoring digital spaces, and taking action against those spreading false information.
