The Kaduna State Government, through Samuel Aruwan, the Overseeing Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, has refuted a circulating report regarding alleged shooting and kidnapping incidents on the Kaduna-Abuja expressway. Here are the key points from the statement:

1. **Denial of Incident**:
– Aruwan stated that the Kaduna State Government is aware of a report circulating mainly on WhatsApp groups claiming there was shooting and kidnapping on the Bishini corridor of the Kaduna-Abuja road at 9:00 PM on a specific date.
– However, he clarified that traditional rulers, community leaders, and security forces from Katari and Bishini areas have not confirmed such an incident.

2. **Verification Efforts**:
– Despite the report, physical tours and checks with credible human intelligence sources have also not confirmed the alleged incident.
– Based on these findings, the report has been deemed false, and Aruwan urged the public to disregard it.

3. **Government’s Commitment to Security**:
– Aruwan emphasized that while the state government acknowledges security challenges, spreading unverified information is unhelpful and unpatriotic.
– He reassured that security forces are maintaining constant vigilance over the Kaduna-Abuja road and the surrounding areas to ensure citizens’ safety.
– The Kaduna State Government pledged to remain engaged with the community and provide necessary support for peace and security initiatives.

Overall, the statement from Samuel Aruwan underscores the government’s proactive stance in addressing security issues and combating the spread of false information that could incite fear and panic among the populace.
