The Ogun State Police Command has debunked reports of bandit attacks and invasions of communities and schools in parts of the state, clarifying that the recent arrest of 38 Ivorians in Atan-Ota was unrelated to banditry or terrorism.
The command’s public relations officer, Babaseyi Oluseyi, disclosed this in a statement issued on Tuesday.
The command said the state remained safe, calm and secure, contrary to claims circulating on social media alleging attacks on schools and communities in Ota, Ifo and other adjoining areas.
According to Oluseyi, there had been no bandit attack, kidnapping incident, terrorist activity or any form of security breach in Oluke Community High School, Sango Ota High School in the Ijoko axis, Fadunsin area of Ijoko, Atan-Ota, Sango-Ota, Agbado, Ifo and neighbouring communities.
He explained that following the circulation of the reports, operatives were deployed to the affected locations to verify the claims and reassure residents.
