The Enugu State Police Command has debunked rumour making the round that suspected herdsmen militia were planning to attack an agrarian community in the state.
The Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, for the Command SP Ebere Amaraizu, said this in an interview on Friday in Enugu.
He said the rumour of planned attack on Ezi-Nze community in Udi council area was unfounded.
Mr. Amaraizu said it was a blatant lie being peddled by idle minds who wanted to cause panic in the minds of residents of the state.
The police spokesman said that the state had remained and would continue to be peaceful and the police was not resting on their oars to ensure peace.
He warned those planning to obstruct peace in the state to retrace their step, stressing that they would be arrested and made to face the law.
The President-General of the community, Chief Kelvin Ochinanwata also denied the media report about the rumour of pending attack on the community and advised the public to disregard it.
