The story trending on the social media about a purported bomb blast at Al-Qalam University in Katsina State on Friday, Jan. 21, 2022, has been described as “fake news”.

Al-Qalam University  spokesman Alhaji Akilu Abubakar  called on the public to disregard the reports of the blast in the social media.

“The attention of the university has been drawn to a story trending on the social media about a purported bomb blast at the school on Friday, Jan. 21, 2022.

“The university wishes to dispel the story as unfortunate, unfounded, fake, and misleading.

“What happened was that a moving truck along Dutsin-ma Road experienced tyre-burst around 8:30 pm, but mischief makers capitalised on the incident to spread the fake news about a bomb blast inside the university,” he said.

Abubakar said the public should disregard the fake information, as  the University is safe.

He added that the university is carrying out an investigation to identify the source of the fake information.
