Five (5) have been arraigned before court, with three (3) remanded into police custody and two granted bail. The rest are on police inquiry bail and will soon be arraigned before court, according to the police,” the statement revealed.

The police further warned the public against the spread of such false news, as it would harm innocent people and disturb public peace.
