The Police Command in Enugu State and relevant service
providers have started investigating fake social media posts to track
mischief-makers.
The police warned residents of the state against using
social media to spread fake news about kidnapping in the state.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) for the Command,
SP Ebere Amaraizu, said in Enugu on Tuesday that, “the attention of the command
has been drawn to some online tweets and postings in the new media (social
media), undermining efforts of security operatives “.
According to the police image maker, such tweets and
postings have created wrong impression of non-existing and unconfirmed
kidnapping activities in some parts of the state.
“Such online report/tweet is false and misleading and it is
viewed as a calculated attempt by mischief makers to create in the mind of law
abiding and good people of the state.’’
Amaraizu restated the commitment of the command toward
ensuring sustenance of peace, security and safety through partnership with
relevant stakeholders and other sister security agencies.
“The command, through support of the government and good
people of the state, will stop at nothing at ensuring that the existing peace,
security and safety is sustained, to keep maintaining the state as the safest
in the country.’’
The command, in partnership with sister security agencies,
has intensified crime prevention activities such as joint patrols and
intelligence sharing according to Amaraizu.
