The news has been circulated that unknown gunmen assassinate the INEC chairman in Anambra State, he describes the report as false and absolutely misleading, according to the Commissioner of Police.
The attention of the Anambra State Police command has been drawn to the news trending on social media and other conventional media on the purported killing of the chairman Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) where media were giving different correlations.
For the avoidance of doubt and the purpose of clarity, the command wishes to state that the Independent Electoral Commission Chairman Prof Mahmood Yakubu held a stakeholder meeting in Awka today 2nd November 2021 and stated the preparedness of the commission to hold a peaceful election in the state.
While the security agencies are ever ready to enforce their statutory responsibility to ensure a hitch-free exercise.
The CP hereby urges the journalist and other well-meaning individuals to join the fight against crime reporting contents that don’t contrast the current state of security in the society as they too should be agents of Law and order.
