The Federal Capital Territory Commissioner of Police, Haruna Garba has described the killing of 30 persons in Kuje as false and misleading.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, September 12, by the FCT police public relations officer, Josephine Adeh said: “The Commissioner of Police FCT Police Command, CP Haruna G. Garba psc, wishes to enjoin the residents of the Federal Capital Territory to disregard the news making the rounds that about thirty (30) persons were killed as a result of landslide due to Mining activities in Kuje Area council as no such incident took place.
“This misleading information is not only intended to cause fear and panic among Nigerians but to make people believe that FCT is not safe. The Federal Capital Territory is the safest and most secure part of the country.

“The Commissioner of Police urges residents of the FCT to be patriotic and cooperate with the police for improved service delivery.
