Men of the Ebonyi State Police Command have arrested a man, identified as Nwali Nwibo, for allegedly spreading false information that bandits and Fulani herdsmen had invaded Nguzu Edda Community in Edda Local Government Area of the state.

The command’s spokesperson, SP Joshua Ukandu, disclosed the arrest in a statement, noting that it followed a thorough intelligence-led investigation which revealed that the report was false.

Ukandu said the investigation uncovered no evidence of any such invasion, leading to the suspect’s apprehension for allegedly circulating misleading information capable of causing public alarm.

He added that the Commissioner of Police, CP Hope Okafor, urged residents to verify the accuracy of information before sharing it on social media or other communication platforms.

The police commissioner also warned against the spread of false reports that could incite panic, create fear among residents, and threaten public peace and order.
