In a press statement, PRO SP Bright Edafe explained that on April 30, officers on routine patrol encountered resistance while attempting to arrest a suspected drug user. To control the crowd, they deployed tear-gas canisters. One canister struck a bystander’s leg, causing a minor injury. The victim is now receiving medical care. The command describes the circulating video as misleading and urges the public to rely on verified official statements.
