The Kaduna State Government has debunked a publication circulated by some online media outlets detailing an attack by armed bandits on the Jaji Military Base, Igabi LGA on Saturday.
According to the report, armed bandits attacked the base and gunned down several soldiers.
A statement by the state commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, said there was no iota of truth in the report.
“The military and security agencies have reported to the Kaduna State Government that there was no such attack and all personnel stationed at the base are safe and accounted for.
“The Kaduna State Government therefore debunks strongly the false and grossly misleading publication, and urges the public to disregard the fake news,” Mr Aruwan added.
