Police dismiss Plateau ‘Jihad’ rumour

A statement by the police spokesman, Tyopev Terna, a deputy superintendent of police, said an inciting document entitled:The police said it was with the sole aim of creating fear, anxiety and hate among the peace-loving people of Plateau to cause a breakdown of law and order.

The statement said: “After a thorough and careful investigation, the Plateau State Police Command realised that the initiator of this inciting document opened a fake Facebook account just for this purpose, which he has since closed down. “The command also found out that there was no truth in the write-up and considers it as the handiwork of faceless mischief-makers, who are bent on fanning the embers of religious and political hate and disunity in the state with a view to causing the breach of the peace.

“The Plateau State Police Command, therefore, warn that any individual or group of individuals caught circulating documents capable of inciting religious passion or promoting hate speeches will be dealt with in accordance with the extant laws of the land. “Members of the general public are, therefore, advised to ignore such insidious write-ups and go about their normal and lawful businesses.”
