Police in the National Capital District have dismissed claims circulating on social media about an ongoing eviction at Erima Wildlife, saying no such operation is currently underway.

Acting Assistant Commissioner of Police for NCD and Central, Benjamin Turi, clarified that police are not carrying out any eviction and are waiting for the rightful land title holder to engage with authorities before any action is taken.

He explained that police do not initiate evictions but only provide security when lawful court orders are presented by landowners requesting assistance.

“We only act when the rightful person requests our service with proper court orders. Otherwise, we continue with our normal duties,” he said.

Turi also raised concern over false information being shared online, describing it as misleading and not coming from police leadership. He stressed that such claims could cause unnecessary fear and confusion among the public.

National Capital District Metropolitan Superintendent Warrick Simatab supported the statement, confirming that the information circulating is not from him or police command and should not be treated as official.

He said all police actions are directed through proper leadership channels and must follow lawful processes.

Police say they will remain neutral and respect all parties involved, including the government, landowners, and residents, while awaiting formal direction from the title holder.

Authorities are urging the public to rely on verified information and avoid spreading unconfirmed reports, as police continue to uphold the law through proper and lawful procedures.
