Federal Capital Territory Police Command Denies Bandit Threat Letter to Abuja Communities

The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has dismissed reports claiming that suspected bandits issued a threat letter warning of planned attacks on communities within the Federal Capital Territory.

In a statement, the police said preliminary investigations showed that the letter circulating on social media and in some communities was not written by bandits. Authorities described the report as misleading and urged residents not to panic.

According to the Command, security agencies have reviewed the contents of the letter and found no credible intelligence linking it to criminal groups operating around Abuja and its surrounding areas.

Police officials reassured residents that adequate security measures remain in place to safeguard lives and property across the territory. They added that patrols and surveillance operations have been intensified to prevent any potential security threats.

The Command also cautioned members of the public against spreading unverified information that could create unnecessary fear or tension within communities.

Residents were encouraged to remain vigilant and promptly report any suspicious activities to the nearest police station or through official emergency channels.

The police reiterated their commitment to maintaining peace and security in the Federal Capital Territory while working closely with community leaders and other security agencies. 🚓🇳🇬
