Police have dismissed social media reports that armed robbers attacked Basse and carted away with millions of Dalasis as unfounded and false.
This comes amid circulating information on social media that men armed with guns attacked people in Basse and made away with millions of Dalasis.
But the Police said: “Information circulating on social media platforms that armed robbers attacked Basse and ran away with millions of Dalasis is false and unfounded.
“The Inspector General’s Office wishes to inform the public that it has not received any report of armed robbery within Basse and the entire URR.”
Police also urged the public, particularly social media users to verify facts before spreading information that maybe misleading to the public.
Last week, a money change bureau within Serrekunda was reportedly attacked by some unscrupulous people, who stole more than six million Dalasis.
