NGThe Police Command in Ebonyi, Nigeria, has denied claims of a new terror group and mass kidnappings in the Izzi Local Government Area. A statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Joshua Ukandu, clarified that the allegations were based on a false report circulating on social media. The report claimed that a group called 'Bloody Vampires' had kidnapped several individuals, demanding ransom. However, the police stated that the information came from a single individual, Okemini Ogbonna, who reported that his three brothers disappeared after attending a football match. The police investigated and traced the threat to a location near the Ogun State Correctional Centre, identifying a potential scam operation involving extortion attempts. While they confirmed one instance of attempted abduction, they rejected the broader claims of mass kidnappings and emphasized that such allegations were exaggerated and lacked evidence. The police reiterated their commitment to ensuring safety and security in the region.
