Nasarawa State Police Command has debunked viral reports of herdsmen attack and disrupted crusade in Agboda village, Karu local government area of the state.
A statement by the Command Public Relations Officer, PRO Raham Nansel expressed disappointment over some publications circulating on various media platforms and social media with the caption “Panic as Herdsmen Disrupt Nasarawa crusade, forcing worshippers to flee.”
“The Command categorically states that no herdsmen attack occurred anywhere in Nasarawa State, and the published reports, including the video in circulation, do not reflect the true situation in Agboda Village. The publication is therefore a gross misrepresentation of facts.
“Preliminary investigation revealed that on 24 November 2025 at about 1900 hours, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Mararaba Udege Division, received information that a motorcyclist was attacked by unknown persons along a feeder road leading to Agboda Village.
”The victim sustained a machete cut, and his motorcycle was taken away by the assailants.
“Upon receipt of the report, the DPO immediately contacted vigilante members in the area, who in conjunction with the police pursued the suspects.
“The criminals abandoned the stolen motorcycle and fled. The victim was rushed to the hospital, where he is currently responding to treatment, while his motorcycle was recovered.
“Further investigation revealed that Daniel Ukpo, who made the viral video claims, is presently in police custody. He has confirmed that there was no herdsmen attack and no disruption of any crusade as reported.
“He explained that upon learning about the robbery incident, residents rushed to the scene, during which he recorded the video that is now being misrepresented online.
