The FCT Police Command has categorically denied publications circulating on social media, alleging an attack on one Lt. Ahmed Yarima at the NNPC junction on the Kubwa Expressway. The Command described the publications as “false and grossly misleading.”
The Police on Monday, November 17, offered a detailed account of the event, which took place on November 16, 2025, at about 6:15 p.m. A police patrol team conducting a routine stop-and-search operation intercepted an ash-colored Toyota Camry due to its concealed number plate and fully tinted windows.
The command said in line with standard procedure, officers approached the vehicle and politely requested the occupant’s identity and an explanation for the vehicle’s concealments. However, the occupant refused to identify himself, proceeded to make several phone calls, and rolled up his windows, declining to engage with the officers.
A few minutes later, three naval personnel arrived at the location according to the statement. They cordially identified the occupant of the vehicle as their colleague, and were seen recording video and picture footage of the encounter before leaving. Following this official confirmation, the Police team allowed the vehicle to proceed, and operations continued without further incident. The Command stated it was surprised to find “maliciously crafted tales and worst of all allegations of assassination” circulating the following day.
