The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has urged Abuja residents to go about their daily activities without fear, saying rumours of planned terrorists attack and abduction of students from the University of Abuja campus are fake.
The security outfit was reacting to social media reports that there has been palpable tension within the university and its environs.
Speaking via a statement, FCT’s police spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, described the reports as “nothing but baseless publications propagated by rumour mongers aiming to create unfounded panic and apprehension among FCT residents and university community.”
