Tanzania’s national parks authority has denied reports that rangers assaulted and abducted local people in the world-famous Serengeti park.

It comes amid allegations that some people are still missing months after being seized in unclear circumstances by those thought to be wildlife rangers.

In a statement, Tanzania National Parks, Tanapa, says “it has neither received official reports of rangers assaulting citizens nor reports of any people missing from the park.”

It advised those running online platforms to be cautious about the information they published so as not to cause tension especially on matters involving human lives.

Tanapa said “it would continue to carry out its role to diligently conserve the country’s national heritage.”
