Kaduna State Government has debunked news of terrorists blocking the Kaduna-Abuja Expressway and kidnapping passengers plying the road describing the news as fake.
Samuel Aruwan Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs said the fake news was presented by a group of social media enthusiasts who celebrate negative news.
He said “ The preliminary operational feedback showed that fleeing bandits escaping a military onslaught attempted to pass through a narrow corridor around Kasarami general area of Kaduna-Abuja road.
The troops, on receving this intelligence, hurriedly moved to the location and engaged them in the adjoining forest.”
He however assured that government will update members of the general public when more detailed feedback is received.
“The Kaduna State Government does not deny the existence of security challenges, and continues to work assiduously with relevant military and security agencies.”
