In a statement released on Friday, the state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mahid Abubakar, quoted Commissioner Usman, describing the claims made by a security agency as unsubstantiated.
The Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Muhammad Bello, had earlier warned residents against accommodating strangers or their agents during the decoration of 302 officers on Tuesday.
Bello suggested that criminals were migrating from North-West to North-East.
Commissioner Usman, in response to these claims, labeled them as misinformation, affirming that there is no threat in Gombe State.
The statement emphasized the commitment of the Gombe State Police Command, in collaboration with other security agencies, to ensure the protection of lives and property, as well as the maintenance of law and order in the state.
“The command wishes to state emphatically that there is no such threat in Gombe State, and the command, in collaboration with other security agencies, is committed to ensuring the protection of lives and property, maintenance of law and order in the state.”
Usman urged residents to disregard the circulating video, assuring them of their safety and encouraging them to continue their daily activities without fear.
