 ANAMBRA POLICE ACTION ON THE CULT CLASH THAT RESULTED IN THE FATAL INJURY OF FOUR PERSONS AT AFOR NAWFIA MARKET The Anambra State Police Command wishes to provide a comprehensive update on the cult-related attack that occurred on the evening of 7th December 2025 at Afor Nawfia Market, along the Onitsha–Awka Old Road.

 CP JIMOH URGES LAGOSIANS TO DISREGARD GBAGADA KIDNAPPING NEWS AS FAKE AND RECYCLED

 ⁃ orders arrest and prosecution of fake news purveyors 


The Lagos State Police Command wishes to, for the umpteenth time, debunk a recurring advisory on social media purportedly emanating from the Command about "an increase in kidnapping incidents along Gbagada Expressway." The Command hereby states unequivocally that the claim that such a security alert was issued by the Lagos State Police Command is false.


This fake advisory first surfaced in January 2024 and was promptly debunked. It surfaced again in September 2024 and was again debunked. It is sad that purveyors of fake news have churned it out again in March 2025. 


That notwithstanding, the Command is not unmindful of the concerns raised in the alert. Consequent upon this, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Olohundare Jimoh, has ordered an immediate review of the security architecture of the entire area to be carried out by affected Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) and Area Commanders, in a bid to forestall such an occurrence.


The improved security architecture will be regularly reviewed and optimized to ensure absolute security for road users, residents of the area, and the entire people of Lagos State. To this end, CP Jimoh urges Lagosians to go about their lawful businesses without fear of harassment or intimidation.


In the same vein, Lagosians are urged to remain security conscious and report any suspicious activity around them to the nearest police station or call Lagos State Police Command Control Room on 08065154338, 08063299264, or 09129229576. 


Meanwhile, CP Jimoh has given marching orders to detectives of the Command to go on the trail of the mischievous individuals behind this act ill-intentioned to cause unnecessary fear and apprehension among Lagosians with the mandate to apprehend and prosecute them. Purveyors of fake news are equally warned to desist from such criminal acts or face the full wrath of the law.
