Cross River Police Debunk Viral Claims of Bandit Arrests in Calabar and Akamkpa

Cross River Police Debunk Viral Claims of Bandit Arrests in Calabar and Akamkpa

The Cross River State Police Command says there is no verified report of bandits being arrested at the NYSC Secretariat in Calabar or of any organised group infiltrating the state. According to the Command’s spokesperson, ASP Eitokpah Sunday Akata, thorough investigations and intelligence reviews found no evidence to support the circulating videos and posts. He described the rumours as false and likely intended to create panic among residents and visitors. The police assured the public that robust security deployments, intelligence-driven operations, and constant patrols remain in place across Cross River State. Citizens are urged to stay calm, remain vigilant, and verify security updates only through the official channels of the Nigeria Police Force and the Cross River State Command.

It's interesting that the statement specifically mentions NYSC Secretariat, but doesn't address other hotspot rumours in the state.

The police didn't share any evidence for their denial, no be so? Feels like they're glossing over possible leads.

Next time such rumours pop up, we should cross-check official police channels before spreading those stories online.
