Ikenga described the report as \u201cmisleading, unfounded and false\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Command wishes to state that the report is untrue, a product of fiction, and the handiwork of mischief makers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hospital mentioned in the report, where the corpses of the soldiers were allegedly kept, does not exist in Awka, the State Capital,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The PPRO added that further inquiries by the Command, showed that there was no record of such an incident, labelling the story as deliberate acts by unscrupulous elements who desired to cause tension in the state.<\/p>\n

Ikenga warned that the Command would not hesitate to invoke the relevant cyber laws on persons found wanting in this regard.<\/p>\n

However, the Command urged the public to disregard the report.<\/p>\n
