The government of Anambra State has dispelled an unfounded story making the rounds on social media that there was a gun attack in an Anambra hospital wherein four newborn babies were abducted.
A release by Paul Nwosu, the Commissioner for Information has debunked the report in it totality.
The statement reads:
“There are reports currently flying around social media by supposedly respectable national media that gunmen attacked a maternity hospital in Anambra State and abducted four newborn babies.
“The report neither stated the name of the hospital nor the identities of the mothers whose babies were abducted.
“The Government of Anambra State wishes to state in very clear terms that the report is NOT TRUE. No such attack took place in Anambra State and no babies were abducted. These are mere fictions sponsored by dishonest and unethical reporters to create fear among Ndi Anambra, but they will not succeed as Government has ensured there is enough boots on the ground to protect our people this Yuletide.
“Anybody that dares the government resolve to ensure a peaceful season will only have himself to blame.
“The government is urging Ndi Anambra to go about their normal businesses without fear”.
