The Kaduna State Government has said that it has no plans to shutdown telecommunication services in the state, passing it off as fake news.
This comes as a result of the numerous attacks by bandits in the northern parts of the country.
In a statement by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Communications, Muyiwa Adekeye, says that the government “has not made such a decision, neither has it announced any such plans.
“The Kaduna State Government did not reach out to any federal agency to request a telecoms shutdown, and it has not in any way ordered or effected a communications shutdown”.
Mr. Adekeye asked residents of the state to ignore the rumours.
He said, “It is fake news which some people are trying to pass off as genuine by placing the KDSG logo on their false statements. It is simply not true.
“Citizens should ignore the fake news. There is no shutdown of telecoms services in Kaduna State”.
He added that the state government is transparent about security matters.
