Hello God bless you, this is Evangelist Dr Ukpo Daniel. Concerning Agboda, the crusade that took place in Nasarawa State, Nasarawa LG. The news ongoing is false. Bandits never invaded my crusade neither the village that caused an uproar. So please, for those of you spreading false information that bandits invaded the crusade is false, so everyone spreading such information should take it down.
Again, I was never arrested or detained by the DSS. I was only called by the Police for some information.

POLICE PRESS RELEASE
POLICE DEBUNK REPORT OF HERDSMEN ATTACK AND ALLEGED CRUSADE DISRUPTION IN AGBODA VILLAGE
The Nasarawa State Police Command has taken note of a publication circulating on various news platforms and social media with the caption “Panic as Herdsmen Disrupt Nasarawa Crusade, Forcing Worshippers to Flee.”
The Command categorically states that no herdsmen attack occurred anywhere in Nasarawa State, and the published reports, including the video in circulation, do not reflect the true situation in Agboda Village. The publication is therefore a gross misrepresentation of facts.
Preliminary investigation revealed that on 24 November 2025 at about 1900 hours, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Mararaba Udege Division, received information that a motorcyclist was attacked by unknown persons along a feeder road leading to Agboda Village. The victim sustained a machete cut, and his motorcycle was taken away by the assailants.
Upon receipt of the report, the DPO immediately contacted vigilante members in the area, who in conjunction with the police pursued the suspects. The peace and harmony and to refrain from making statements capable of inciting tension within the State and the country at large.
He also urges journalists and members of the public to be patriotic by verifying information before publication and to avoid spreading unverified or
sensational reports capable of causing public panic.
The Command assures the public of its commitment to safeguarding lives and property and encourages residents to report suspicious activities through appropriate channels.

DSS denies arresting or detaining Evangelist Ukpo Daniel
The Department of State Services (DSS) has denied arresting one Evangelist Ukpo Daniel for raising what it described as a false alarm in a video that herdsmen attacked a crusade in Agboda village, Nasarawa State.
Deputy Director, Public Relations and Strategic Communications, National Headquarters, State Services Abuja, Favour Dozie, in a statement on Wednesday said this was false and misleading.
“This claim is incorrect and appears intended to cast the Service in bad light as well as steer public tension.
“For clarity, Evangelist Ukpo Daniel was never invited nor arrested by the DSS. His spouse, Elizabeth, who originated the Post, when contacted, confirmed that she was with him at the Police Headquarters, Lafia. Therefore, the Service views such misrepresentations in ways that could inflame tension or disrupt ongoing operations, seriously.
“Consequently, the Service advises the public to depend on verified information and communication channels to stem the spate of disinformation that may be exploited to further distort national security,” the statement reads.
