“The lady was arrested on charges of giving false information in order to divert investigations," Enanga noted. "You know when such a big incident happens, we get different people who come with intentions of diverting us, so she deceived investigators, but because of a thorough probe at KMP, we managed to disprove her and those innocent people were released.”
