Police deny report of Abuja station burning
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command of the Nigeria Police Force has refuted report that its Nyanya Police Division was razed by protesters on Thursday.
Debunking the report, the FCT police spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh said, “Contrary to the news making rounds about Nyanya Division being burnt down by violent protesters, the FCT Police Command wishes to state that it wasn’t the police division that was burnt but rather, the police container compartment at Nyanya checkpoint that was set ablaze.”
The police spokesperson also said there was an attempt to vandalise the Tipper Garage Police Post by four suspects, who were subsequently arrested.
