Police in Delta State dismiss reports of a terrorist attack and a security breach at Asaba International Airport. In a statement issued on Monday, the Airport Police Command says the security operation seen at the facility is not an attack, but part of a drill or simulation exercise.
Both outlets report that the police used public clarification to counter claims circulating around the airport. They state that the level of activity observed by people prompted speculation, but the command maintains there was no confirmed incident involving terrorists or an actual breach of airport security. The reporting cites the police spokesperson at the Airport Police Command as the source of the clarification.
While the stories focus mainly on the police denial, they converge on the same core point: the alarm raised online or locally is attributed to planned security procedures rather than an attack. The outlets do not provide additional, independently verified details of any incident beyond the police’s explanation that it was a simulated exercise.
