The Nigeria Police Force has debunked the rumoured theft of its Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) in Kaduna State.
Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi made the clarification in a Facebook post on Tuesday.
Social media reports indicated that some miscreants besieged and stole a police APC amid the #EndBadGovernance protest in Kaduna.
Videos of the attack also circulated on social media, especially X.
However, Adejobi explained that rioters indeed attacked an APC but did not steal it as claimed in social media reports.
“The Police Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) was never stolen, contrary to a video circulated online.
“The APC was responding to a distress call when the rioters besieged it and hanged on it.
“The APC detoured and moved back to the base. As it was approaching the base, the rioters fled.
“No Police APC was stolen or hijacked by the rioters in Kaduna. Disregard the news or the video, please,” the FPRO said.
