Police spokesman Wasiu Abiodun on Monday said the reports of such incident were misinformation.
He urged the public to disregard the false claims propagated by some online media outlets (not NewsClick Nigeria).
Abiodun insisted that there had been no explosion at the dam and dismissed the reports as completely false.
He said the state is not in darkness as falsely alleged.
He reassured the public that the situation at Zungeru Dam remained normal and that there was no cause for alarm.
The statement called for the cooperation and understanding of the public, asking them to rely on verified information from credible sources.
