The attention of the Nigeria Police Force, Kogi State Police Command has been drawn to some media publication alleging that seven persons have been killed by suspected herdsmen in Koton-Karfe in Kogi Local Government Area of Kogi State on Tuesday 25/06/2019.
The news of the purported killings is false and capable of misleading the public on the security situations in Kogi State.
The Command has not received any report and is not aware of the attack as alleged.
