The Nigeria Police in Kano has described as baseless, untrue and fake, the news of gunshots by suspected terrorists in their office.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) Zone 1, SP Abubakar Ambursa, said, “to say that there was an attack on the zone by suspected terrorists is nothing but concocted lies by some disgruntled elements”.

He said that “I have been in the office since 9am this morning and there was no report whatsoever from the gates of the zone that some persons fired gunshots”.

According to him, “do not forget there is a Friday Mosque in the zone and as at the time they said some terrorists fired the shots it was time for prayers because we did our prayers by 1pm, so I cannot comprehend where the story is coming from”.

He added that “when you talk to me about the possible incident, I went to the gates and enquired and no report of such and our Police teams searched those from outside who attend Jummah prayers.

”They were stationed at the gate; nobody said he heard any gunshots.”

A source who preferred anonymity said that the suspected members of the Boko Haram terrorist group fired shots at Zone 1 Police Headquarters along BUK Road in Kano.

Though a source hinted that security is being reinforced around the headquarters to frustrate possible attacks by the terrorists.
