The Police in Enugu have dismissed reports alleging that herdsmen have invaded and occupied homes and schools in Eha-Amufu, describing them as “baseless, mischievous, and misleading.”
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Daniel Ndukwe, stated that no community in Eha-Amufu or any part of Enugu State is under siege.
He clarified that the affected farm settlements are temporary structures used by farmers, not permanent residences.
He highlighted the efforts of the Enugu State Government under Governor Dr Peter Mbah to bolster security in the area.
According to him, these measures include the deployment of 150 military personnel, the establishment of security barracks, and the near completion of the 21.7km Agape-Agu Mgbuji-Ogbete access road leading to farm settlements.
The Police Command also accused the media outlet responsible for the report of using unrelated and outdated images to mislead the public.
Meanwhile, Commissioner of Police, CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa, has urged the public to disregard the false report and assured residents of the state’s commitment to security.
The police encouraged residents to report any security concerns through official channels and cooperate with law enforcement agencies.
