In a statement issued by the spokesperson of the FCT police command, Josephine Adeh, the commissioner said, “Forensic analysis conducted by the Nigeria Police Force – National Cybercrime Centre has revealed startling findings regarding a video circulating purportedly depicting security concerns in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).”

The police added that, “contrary to initial impressions, the investigation confirms that the incident depicted occurred in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and was posted by a South African individual on X (formerly Twitter) on April 22nd, 2024. The video falsely claims the necessity of carrying handguns for travel in Ethiopia.

“It is deeply concerning that this misleading video has been misappropriated to sow fear and misinformation among residents of the FCT.”

Meanwhile, the commissioner of police, CP Igweh has ordered a comprehensive investigation to uncover the original source of this misinformation and discern the motives behind its dissemination.
