The Police Command in Kogi State has expressed expressed doubt over a media report in a section of the media indicating kidnapping of some students of the new Confluence Confluence University of Science and Technology, Osara in Adavi Local Governnent Area of the state.
Speaking with the Correspondent of The Reporters, an online publication in Lokoja on Tuesday, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), for the Police Command in the state, DSP William Aya, said all efforts by the command to authenticate the truth about the said kidnapping could not yield fruitful results.
He said, “The command heard about the alleged kidnapping at Osara, said to have involved some students of the Kogi state Confluence University of Science and Technology, Osara.
“Immediately, the information filtered into us, we dispatched our personnel to the area by going to the scene of the alleged event, interviewing some residents of the area, the people interviewed denied that such thing happened in Osara on the day in question.
“The story in some media said the students were kidnapped during church service on that day,but when we went to find out from the people, they denied that there was a church service on the day mentioned in the area,”he said
“So it becomes difficult for the command to confirm that there was kidnapping in the area in question for now until further investigation can prove other wise,”he said.
