By Ojoma Yusuf,Yola
The Adamawa State Police Command has dismissed social media reports claiming a mechanical fault saved the convoy of Governor Ahmadu Fintiri from armed robbers, describing the reports as misleading and lacking factual accuracy.
According to the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, the incident in question occurred on December 19, 2024, when the advance security vehicle of the Governor’s convoy encountered a roadblock set up by local robbers while returning from Taraba State.
The advance security vehicle, following standard protocols for VIP movements, arrived ahead of the main convoy and found the road blocked, with stranded vehicles and commuters.
Acting swiftly, the officers in the advance team, according to the PPRO, chased the armed robbers away, cleared the obstruction, and ensured the safe passage of all motorists.
Commending the team’s prompt response, Adamawa State Commissioner of Police, Dankombo Morris, praised the officers for their courage and professionalism in handling the situation.
He urged the public to disregard false reports and called on social media users to verify their facts before disseminating information.
“The Command remains committed to ensuring the safety of lives and property across the state. We appreciate the efforts of journalists and media professionals in promoting accurate reporting and fostering public peace,” CP Morris said.
The Adamawa Police Command reiterated its commitment to proactive policing and urged citizens to continue supporting the efforts of security agencies in maintaining law and order.
