Enugu State Police Command has dismissed as untrue the rumour being peddled regarding a bomb explosion in the state, urging residents to ignore it.
Some online platform had on Saturday, July 19, 2014 reported an explosion at Eke Ozi in Ogrute, Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area of the state, throwing residents into panic and anxiety.
However, in a press statement issued in Enugu, Sunday July 20, 2014, the police said the rumour was unfounded as there was no such incident anywhere in the state.
The statement signed by the police spokesman in the state, Ebere Amaraizu, DSP, read: “The Enugu State Command of the Nigeria Police Force wishes to inform members of the public, particularly good people of the state, that its attention has been drawn to the rumour that there was explosion inside Eke Market, Ogurute, Enugu Ezike of Igboeze North Local Government Area of the state on 18/7/14.
“To this end, the command further wishes to make it categorically clear that there was no explosion either in Igboeze North or any other part of the state as being insinuated/rumored.”
