In a press release issued on Wednesday, 11th November 2026, and signed by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Mansir Hassan, ANIPR, the Police said their attention had been drawn to a video circulating on social media alleging a religious clash in Unguwan Yero.

To prevent further escalation, the Police disclosed that adequate security personnel have been deployed to the area, while necessary measures are being taken to sustain peace and forestall a recurrence. The Command also confirmed that investigation has commenced into the circumstances surrounding the incident, warning that anyone found culpable will face the full weight of the law.
The Commissioner of Police strongly cautioned members of the public against spreading unverified information, sensational reports or misleading narratives capable of creating unnecessary tension and inciting violence. Residents were urged to exercise restraint, embrace mutual tolerance and peaceful coexistence, irrespective of their differences.
Reassuring residents that Kaduna State remains peaceful, the Command stated that all necessary security measures are in place to protect lives and property, vowing that anyone who attempts to disrupt the existing peace will be dealt with decisively in accordance with the law.
Members of the public were encouraged to remain calm, go about their lawful activities and report any suspicious activities or security concerns to the nearest Police Station.
