The statement said the command had neither sighted nor received any report of herders migrating or relocating into any part of the state of its forests.

It, therefore, called on the residents to disregard the report as fake and fictitious.

According to the statement, the story was just a mere imagination of the source.

It cautioned newsmen against fake and unverified publications capable of causing apprehension in the state, saying such would no longer be tolerated

The statement also implored members of the public to always verify the source and authenticity of every piece of information they receive via social media.

The command, while assuring the people of adequate protection of lives and property, urged them to remain calm and vigilant.
