Contrary to the news that gave rise to the level of panic of Boko Haram invasion in Lagos state when some suspected Boko Haram members were allegedly reported to have kidnapped some pupils at Premier College Group of Schools, Palm Avenue, Mushin yesterday afternoon.
The Lagos State Police Command had declared that the rumour about activities of Boko Haram members in some parts of the state was nothing but false.
The Public Relations Officer, PRO, of the state Police Command, DSP Ngozi Braide, made this known at a news conference yesterday, at Premier College Group of Schools, Palm Avenue, Mushin, where the terrorists allegedly invaded.
“It is not true that there is any act of terrorism anywhere in Lagos State. It is a lie that the terrorists invaded Premier College to abduct students.
“Somebody just sat down somewhere and cooked up the lies to cause panic in the state.
“Premier College and other schools in the state are safe and secure; let the public discountenance the rumour,“ she said.
The Executive Director of the college, Mr Abraham Martins, spoke in the same vein, describing the rumour as ”false and baseless.”
