The Anambra State Police Command has debunked a viral social media alert claiming that a military helicopter dropped unknown objects in a bush between Nimo and Adazi-Nnukwu communities in Anaocha Local Government Area of the state.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the command described the circulating security alert as false and capable of causing unnecessary public panic while eroding confidence in the state’s security apparatus.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, said tactical teams were swiftly deployed to the alleged location immediately after the rumour surfaced online. “Following the report, the command immediately deployed operatives to the area for verification and assessment. So far, findings revealed that the alleged location remains calm, with no suspicious objects or any security concerns observed,” the statement read.
It added that normal activities were ongoing in and around the area, with security operatives sustaining routine surveillance to maintain public safety. The Commissioner of Police, CP Ikioye Orutugu, urged residents to disregard the false narrative but remain vigilant. He reiterated the command’s commitment to proactive, intelligence-led policing and collaboration with other security agencies and community stakeholders.
The CP also advised the public to always verify security-related information through official channels and report any suspicious activities to the nearest police station or security formation. The police assured citizens of their safety and appealed for continued support in maintaining peace across Anambra State.
