Kafanchan (Kaduna State), Sept. 14, 2016 (NAN) The Interim Chairman of Jaba Local Government, Kaduna State, Mr Ben Kure, said on Wednesday that reports in the social media on the magnitude of recent earth tremor in the area were largely exaggerated.
Kure made the rebuttal in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in his office in Kwoi.
He said that the reports, particularly the images posted on the social media were not from the area, adding that “the pictures do not portray the reality of what happened.”
Kure dismissed the reports as a sensational exaggeration of the incident, which only heightened peoples fears unnecessarily.
The chairman urged the general public to disregard the misleading information and cautioned perpetrators to exhibit professionalism in their reportage.(NAN)
