Kaduna State Government has debunked a recent social media report that the dreaded bandits terrorizing Kaduna-Abuja Highway attacked the road.
The Government through its Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, said the report on social media which caused panic in the state over bandits barricading the Kaduna-Abuja Road and kidnapping citizens plying the route is fake.
The Security Commissioner stated that, the buzz in circulation was presented by a group of social media enthusiasts who celebrate negative news.

Aruwan said, “The preliminary operational feedback showed that fleeing bandits escaping a military onslaught attempted to pass through a narrow corridor around Kasarami general area of Kaduna-Abuja road.
“The troops, on receiving this intelligence, hurriedly moved to the location and engaged them in the adjoining forest”, he said.
He added that the Kaduna State Government will update members of the general public when more detailed feedback is received.
The Commissioner further stated that the Kaduna State Government does not deny the existence of security challenges, and continues to work assiduously with relevant military and security agencies”.
