While some reports claimed that Igbos were killed in Jos recently, The Police Command in Plateau has described such as fake news that unidentified persons have killed 230 Igbos in Jos.
ASP Ubah Ogaba, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the command, dismissed the report in a statement on Sunday.
Social media reports claimed two luxury buses conveying commuters of Igbo extraction were set ablaze, with the 230 passengers killed in Jos.
But Ogaba maintained that the report was malicious and an attempt by mischief makers to stir up ethnic conflicts in the state and the country.
“The command hereby states categorically that there is no record of such incident anywhere in Jos.
“We urge members of the public to disregard and stop the spread of such as fake news capable of inspiring unwarranted panic, hatred, negativity, chaos and tribal conflict among the well-spirited residents of Plateau and Nigeria in general.
