Police officers said fake news spread about cattle herders attacking people around Wannune town. The real story was totally different from what people shared online. DSP Udeme Edet works as the police spokesperson and told everyone the viral claims were wrong. Social media users posted false information about herdsmen violence that never happened. Officers wanted to stop these lies before more people believed them.
Someone called police around 8 pm on June 21st about a shooting death near Akume Road. Aondoakaa Yayough died from gunshot wounds during this violent attack. Police detectives rushed to the crime scene right away to start their investigation. Witnesses helped identify the shooter as Saater Aii who had criminal history. Local security teams caught the suspect but he ran away before officers arrived.
Two other victims suffered bullet injuries and went to the hospital for medical care. Detectives found an AK-47 rifle left behind at the shooting location. Police teams continue searching for Saater Aii across the area. The escaped gunman remains dangerous and wanted for murder charges. Hospital staff treated the wounded survivors who survived the attack.
Police chiefs stressed that no cattle herders were involved during this crime. The shooting had nothing to do with farmer conflicts or grazing disputes. Edet asked people to stop sharing false stories about herdsmen attacks. Citizens should check facts with official sources before posting news online. Wrong information creates panic and makes police work much harder.
