SP Josephine Adeh spokesperson for the FCT police command has stated in a statement issued today that, “The attention of the FCT Police Command has been drawn to a viral video circulating on social media alleging that police officers were involved in a physical confrontation and prevented the Governor of Bauchi State, from gaining access to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) National Secretariat, Wadata Plaza, Wuse Zone 5, Abuja, on Tuesday, November 18, 2025.
“The Command wishes to categorically state that the claims are false, misleading, and do not represent the true situation. The entrance to the Secretariat was momentarily crowded, and what can be observed in the video are police officers dislodging private security personnel and bouncers who were obstructing the Governor’s movement, in order to create a safe and unobstructed passage for him ahead of the scheduled Board of Trustees and National Executive Committee meetings.
“At no time were police officers involved in any scuffle, nor did they obstruct the Governor, as falsely portrayed in the circulating video.
“The Commissioner of Police, FCT, CP Miller G. Dantawaye, psc, calls on media practitioners and social media users to verify information before publication or dissemination.
“He warns that spreading unverified or sensational content can mislead the public, generate unnecessary tension, and undermine the peace and security of the Federal Capital Territory.
“For accurate information and fact-checking, members of the public are encouraged to contact the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) via 07038979348.
“The Command therefore advises the public to disregard the misleading video and its accompanying narrative.
“The FCT Police Command remains steadfast in its commitment to maintaining peace, ensuring safety, and providing unwavering support to all lawful activities within the Territory.”
