Adamawa CAN chairman not beheaded – Police

 The Adamawa State Police Command has dismissed a viral social media post alleging that the state Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) was beheaded by Fulani terrorists.The state CAN chairman is Rev. Joel Manzo.The Police declared in a statement issued Saturday morning that the post is totally false and dangerously inciting.The statement was released against the backdrop of fresh tension in Adamawa State, following sentiments generated by US President Donald Trump’s threat of military action in Nigeria over alleged genocide against Christians.The Adamawa State Police Command, in its statement signed by its Public Relations Officer, SP Suleiman Nguroje, described the report about the state CAN chairman, written by a Facebook user identified as Lionman Lioni, as a deliberate attempt to cause panic and religious disaffection among residents.“The Command wishes to categorically refute this malicious claim in its entirety. There is no such incident recorded anywhere in Adamawa State,” the Police said.Nguroje quoted the state Commissioner of Police, CP Dankombo Moris, as urging members of the public to disregard the Facebook report and desist from spreading unverified information that could undermine peace.The CP also appealed to residents to always confirm sensitive information from credible sources before sharing it.Nguroje added that, in the meantime, the police command has launched an investigation to track down and prosecute those behind the false publication, as the Command will not tolerate attempts to incite violence through the misuse of social media.
