The command’s image maker condemned the “erroneous” publication circulating in some sections of the media suggesting an attack on the outskirts of the territory.
“The news is baseless on all fronts as the said journalist refuted all highlighted parts maliciously amplified to suggest a terrorist invasion. Preliminary investigation also shows that nothing of such happened in the mentioned area and the FCT as a whole”
