Taraba State Police debunked a viral report claiming that 24-year-old Maimuna mutilated her 30-year-old husband, Haruna Ishaka, causing his death in Maigoje village, Gashaka. An investigation by the Gashaka divisional police officer and checks in nearby communities found no evidence that the incident occurred; residents and local leaders also rejected the claims. Police Commissioner Edwin Ogbeghagha urged journalists and the public to verify sensitive reports with law enforcement and warned that knowingly spreading false information could lead to legal consequences.
