The Kaduna State Government has debunked a publication circulated by some online media outlets (News Express not included) detailing an attack by armed bandits on the Jaji Military Base, Igabi Local Government Area on Saturday, May 29, 2021.
According to the report, armed bandits attacked the base and gunned down several soldiers.
A second security update on Sunday, by Samuel Aruwan, Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Kaduna State, said: “The military and security agencies have reported to the Kaduna State Government that there was no such attack and all personnel stationed at the base are safe and accounted for.
“The Kaduna State Government therefore debunks strongly the false and grossly misleading publication, and urges the public to disregard the fake news.”
