Contrary to reports in circulation, the Federal Capital Territory Police Command has denied shooting a teenage protester in Kubwa.
Video footage making the rounds alleged that operatives of the police command killed a yet-to-be-identified teenager on the third day of the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protest.
Reacting, the command, in a statement issued by Police Public Relations Officer SP Josephine Adeh, stated that its operatives were not responsible for the death of the teenager.
She, however, said FCT Commissioner of Police Benneth Igweh, has ordered an immediate investigation to ascertain the remote cause of the death.
According to her, the operatives deployed to the axis were not issued “lethal arms but only anti-riot equipment not capable of causing the death of the teenager.”
The command called on residents to shun misinformation, stating that some mischievous individuals are hiding behind the current situation in the country to peddle fake news.
