The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has urged residents of the territory to disregard rumours of a bomb blast in Karu area of FCT.
FCT Permanent Secretary, Engr. Obinna Chukwu, described it as baseless in a statement signed on his behalf by the deputy director/Chief Press Secretary, Muhammad Hazat Sule, yesterday.
The Permanent Secretary assured residents of Federal Capital Territory that the alleged rumour was unfounded.
According to him, the FCT Police Commissioner, Wilson Inalegwu, in company of other security agents had combed all the nooks and crannies of the area from Orozo to Nyanya and from Karu up to Mararaba, in Nasarawa state without any sign of bomb explosion.
He stated that security agencies had intensified surveillance in the entire Federal Capital Territory in order to nip in the bud, any of such unfortunate incidents.
He called on residents to be security conscious, vigilant and report any suspicious persons or movements to nearby security agents.
