The Special Assistant to the Governor of Ebonyi State, His Excellency, Engr. Dave Umahi on Media and Publicity, Francis Nwaze has refuted claims that there was an explosion in some part of the state.
He said, “My attention has been drawn to news making the round in some section of the media that there was an explosion of a suicide bomb in Afikpo, Ebonyi State yesterday afternoon and the above news is in sharp contrast to the reality as the incident was a grenade of a security personnel carrying out his duties at the said location that accidentally exploded.
A similar incident equally occurred in front of the Ebonyi State Old Government House as some mobile police officers were servicing their APC machine. The first incident took the life of a passerby while the second caused injuries on the affected person, who has been taken to the hospital, where he is currently receiving treatment.
The general public is, therefore, charged to disregard the fake news as it is the handiwork of enemies of the state who are bent on causing panic where none exists.
Furthermore, Ebonyians and residents of Ebonyi State
are reminded that generating and spreading of fake news aimed at causing panic
in the state is actionable.
