The Nigeria Police Force hereby addresses a trending video depicting a group of persons suspected to be armed terrorists carrying assault rifles with a commentary in Hausa language that has recently gained significant attention and caused widespread concern.
After thorough and detailed video graphic analysis conducted by the NPF Cybercrime Centre, it has been confirmed that the video in question was originally created and circulated on 28th May, 2018. Our findings reveal that the video was recently reposted with a misleading narrative with the deliberate intention to cause unnecessary panic and disruption within the country.
While urging the public to remain calm and avoid spreading unverified information, the Nigeria Police Force issues a strong warning to individuals who engage in the deliberate spread of false information, an act which is irresponsible, criminal and punishable under the law reiterating that such can cause significant harm, incite panic, and destabilize our country. The Police assures that anyone found to be involved in the creation or dissemination of misleading content will face the full extent of the law.
We encourage everyone to rely on official channels for accurate updates and to report any suspicious activities or content to the authorities.
