Ebonyi denies any suicide bombing - ITREALMS

ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!

The Ebonyi State Government has denied a suicide bomb reports, saying there was no such a thing, especially in the state capital, reports 
ITREALMS.
According to the Special Assistant to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Mr. Francis Nwaze in a press statement available to ITREALMS, there attention have been drawn to a news making the round in some section of the media that there was an explosion of a suicide bomb in Afikpo, Ebonyi State this afternoon.
As said by him, "The above news is in sharp contrast to the reality as the incident was a grenade of a security personnel carrying out his duties at the said location that accidentally exploded. A similar incident equally occurred in front of the Ebonyi State Old Government House as some mobile police officers were servicing their APC machine

"The first incident took the life of a passerby while the second caused injuries on the affected person, who has been taken to the hospital, where he is currently receiving treatment.

"The general public is, therefore, charged to disregard the fake news as it is the handiwork of enemies of the state who are bent on causing panic where none exists.

"Furthermore, Ebonyians and residents of Ebonyi State are reminded that generating and spreading of fake news aimed at causing panic in the state is actionable," Nwaze said.
