Government of Kaduna State has come out to refute reports of a suicide bomb attack along Kaduna-Abuja highway on Wednesday.
This was contained in a statement issued by the overseeing Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan.
He said, “Our attention has been drawn to reports being circulated. Alleging the occurrence of a suicide attack or a similar incident along the Kaduna-Abuja Road.”
The Commissioner stated that as of the time of the update no such incident, suicide attack or otherwise, occurred on the Kaduna-Abuja Road.
He added that security forces and intelligence sources along the route were in constant touch with the Government. This, he said is supported by the ongoing conduct of physical inspection and security assessments in the area.
The Commissioner, therefore, asked the general public to discountenance the report. He stated that reports of such an incident were erroneous.
Aruwan said that the security agencies deployed along the Kaduna-Abuja Road and the general area would sustain monitoring of the area.
He informed that they would engage all protocols towards the security of citizens and commuters on the highway.
