The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Bauchi State Command, has debunked the false report being circulated alleging that the operatives opened fire during an attempted arrest in Tudun Wada village, Bauchi Local Government Area of the State.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Command's Spokesman ASC Saminu Yusuf made available to newsmen on Thursday in Bauchi.
It said the report claimed that two residents, Hamza Sarkin Aska and Jibrin Adamu, sustained gunshot wounds to the legs, and a 12-year-old Almajiri boy, Umar Rabiu, suffered leg bruises before being evacuated for treatment.
It further stated that two victims were admitted at the General Hospital Yuguda, while the child was treated and discharged,” it said.
“We state unequivocally that this account is entirely false, misleading, and does not reflect any operation carried out by the NSCDC in the area.
The statement said NSCDC is a responsible paramilitary organization, guided by professionalism, discipline, and a constitutional mandate to safeguard lives, properties, and critical national infrastructure.
“Our personnel are trained to exercise maximum restraint and adhere to the rules of engagement in all operations.
“We call on members of the public to disregard this baseless report and remain assured of our commitment to upholding peace, safety, and the rule of law throughout Bauchi State, it said.
The statement further stressed that false information such as this not only misrepresents the efforts of security agencies but also poses a risk to public trust and communal harmony.
The NSCDC Bauchi State Command remains resolute in its mission to uphold peace, law, and order across the state.
