The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has dismissed reports claiming its officers have been directed to remove pockets from their uniforms.
In a statement released on Tuesday, September 23, the spokesperson of the command, SP Josephine Adeh, described the report as “entirely baseless” and urged the public to disregard it.
“There has been no such directive from the Office of the Inspector General of Police. The FCT Police Command remains focused on its constitutional mandate of safeguarding lives and property, and we urge members of the public to verify information from credible sources before circulating it further,” Adeh stated.
She advised residents to rely on official communication channels for accurate updates and cautioned social media users against spreading misinformation capable of misleading the public and distracting security agencies from their critical duties.
