Police denies release of 300 detainees from SARS facility

The Nigerian Police Force has denied claims by an unknown Islamic group, the Jama’atu Ansarul Muslimina Fi Biladis-Sudan, that they have released about 300 detainees from the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) headquarters in Abuja.
Police Deputy Public Relations Officer, Mr Frank Mba, told journalists in Abuja that the claims are false and an attempt to mislead Nigerians.
He added that   the SARS facility that was attacked does not have the capacity to hold the numbers claimed to have been released.
He also added that the ensuing gun battle and tactical maneuver by the police will not allow for such a number to be moved from such a facility even if it were true.
He urged Nigerians to not glorify such claims as the police force continues to work with other security agencies to ensure the safety of lives and properties.
