According to the statement from the Cp Babaji Sunday, the video making the rounds on social media platforms is not recent as there is no such thing in any part of Abuja today.

The statement read in part, ”The attention of the Commissioner of Police, FCT Police Command, CP Babaji Sunday, has been drawn to a video making the rounds on social media platforms about an incident which is being credited to have happened in Lugbe, FCT Abuja.

“The CP wishes to state categorically that there is no such incident in Lugbe as he is currently on patrol with operatives around the Lugbe-Airport Road axis.

“The CP urges all well-meaning members of Abuja Community to go about their lawful businesses as the police are on its toes to ensure the safety of their lives and property.”
