Anambra State Police Command has warned the people to stop spreading false security alerts.

This is contained in a statement issued by the command on July 7 and signed by its Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga.

The Force in the statement stated that, ``the Anambra State Police Command today 7/7/2023 has observed with great dismay, the mischievous act of persons sharing false security alerts/messages, and doctored old videos of security incidents to cause tension and panic in the State.

``Given the above, the Command shall invoke relevant cyber laws on persons found wanting in this regard’’.

The command promised that it would not take for granted the confidence the people has vested on them for the protection of lives and properties, and hinted that it has teamed up with other security agencies to bring security to the people.

``The Police with other security forces have intensified patrols, improved security dominance and surveillance in the state. 

``In the event of any request for security service, members of the public are advised to call the following phone numbers: the Command Control Room Number on 07039194332 or the Public Relations Officer, PRO on 08039334002. 

``The 'npf rescue me app' is also available for free download on both Android and Apple IOS, for Android and iPhone users respectively.
