The Taraba State Police Command has debunked a viral report alleging that a 24-year-old woman, Maimuna, cut off her husband's manhood leading to his death in Gashaka Local Government Area.
The Command said verification by the Divisional Police Officer, Serti Division, did not establish the incident.
In a press release issued on Friday by the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Victor Mshelizah, the Command said the DPO went after hearing viral reports conducted an on-the-ground verification and made inquiries within Maigoje Village, Mai Idanu Ward and surrounding communities.
"The verification exercise did not establish the occurrence of the alleged incident, and the communities contacted did not confirm the claims contained in the publication," the statement said.
The Command said it therefore has no confirmed information substantiating the report.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Edwin Ogbeghagha, urged the public and media practitioners to exercise caution and verify sensitive reports before sharing.
The Command also cautioned against fabrication and dissemination of false information, warning that such conduct violates applicable laws and will be handled in accordance with due process.
