The Anambra State Police Command has debunked the news that Police operatives in the state recovered 50 AK-47 rifles at Okija community.

Reacting to the news making the rounds, SP Haruna Mohammed,
(PPRO) Anambra State Police Command, said there was no truth in the online publication that some children went to fetch firewood at Okija in Anambra State and discovered about 50 pieces of AK 47 guns hidden by Fulani herdsmen in wait for their planned assault and that the children reported to some elders who handed over the rifles to the Police.

He said that the publication was false and orchestrated by mischief makers who were bent on creating chaos in the State in order to achieve their selfish desires.

“Persons circulating this inciting publication are warned to desist forthwith as any one apprehended will face the full wrath of the law. Finally, the Command further assures the citizens of adequate protection and urged them to disregard the fake news and go about their legitimate business” SP Mohammed concluded.
