The FCT Police Command has categorically denied publications circulating on social media, alleging an @ttack on one Lt. Ahmed Yerima at the NNPC junction on the Kubwa Expressway. The Command described the publications as “false and grossly misleading.”
The Police on Monday, November 17, offered a detailed account of the event, which took place on November 16, 2025, at about 6:15 p.m. A police patrol team conducting a routine stop-and-search operation intercepted an ash-colored Toyota Camry due to its concealed number plate and fully tinted windows.
The command said in line with standard procedure, officers approached the vehicle and politely requested the occupant’s identity and an explanation for the vehicle’s concealments. However, the occupant refused to identify himself, proceeded to make several phone calls, and rolled up his windows, declining to engage with the officers.
A few minutes later, three naval personnel arrived at the location according to the statement. They cordially identified the occupant of the vehicle as their colleague, and were seen recording video and picture footage of the encounter before leaving. Following this official confirmation, the Police team allowed the vehicle to proceed, and operations continued without further incident. The Command stated it was surprised to find “maliciously crafted tales and worst of all allegations of assassination” circulating the following day.

FCT POLICE COMMAND CLARIFIES STOP-AND-SEARCH INCIDENT AT NNPC JUNCTION, KUBWA EXPRESSWAY.
The attention of FCT Police Command has been drawn to publications by an Instagram blogger, “Mazitundeednut,” alleging an attack on one Lt. Ahmed Yerima at NNPC junction in Kubwa area of the FCT. FCT Police Command wishes to state that these publications are false and grossly misleading.
On 16th November 2025 at about 06:15 p.m., a Police patrol team, while conducting a routine stop-and-search operation at NNPC Junction along Kubwa Expressway, intercepted an ash-coloured Toyota Camry driven with a concealed number plate and fully tinted windows.
In line with standard operational procedure, officers approached the vehicle and politely requested for the occupant’s identity, along with an explanation for the concealments. The occupant, however, refused to identify himself, proceeded to make several calls, and wound up his tinted windows, declining to engage with the police team.
A few minutes later, three naval personnel arrived the location and cordially identified the occupant of the vehicle as their colleague. They were also observed taking video and picture footage of the encounter before leaving. Following this confirmation, the Police team allowed the vehicle to proceed. The patrol team then continued its operations peacefully and without any further incident. It is however surprising to wake up to maliciously crafted tales and worst of all allegations of assassination .
