Contrary to an earlier report by the Punch and other media outlets, that the Nigerian Police has launched a manhunt for the man that post the "IGP Transmission Video" the Liberty Television journalist, Aminu Nurudeen.

However, there were also earlier reports that the Kano State Police Command invited the reporter to its office immediately the video went viral.

The Kano State Police Command through it's PRO, has released a press statement refuting the news, describing it as false and the act of mischief makers.

Read below;

"The attention of Kano State Police Command is drawn to trending headlines in some national dailies and online Media that the ’’ Police Launched prove, threaten bloggers arrest’’ over IGP’s trending video. The Command hereby debunks the news as false in its entirety and an act by mischief makers. No journalist was arrested nor invited by the Command for interrogation over the video clip.

It is crystal clear that the Command maintain cordial relationship with the State Chapter of the N.U.J, the Correspondence Chapel and all bloggers. The Media outlets responsible for the report had their correspondents here in Kano but none consulted the Command to verify the news."

No Manhunt of any Journalist what so ever by the Kano Police Command, please.
