The Lagos State Police Command has dismissed circulating fears of an impending bandit attack on schools, stating there is no credible intelligence to support such threats.
In a statement on Monday, the Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Adebisi, said the police are aware of a threat notice allegedly pasted in a school claiming bandits planned to attack and abduct schoolchildren.
The Command urged parents, guardians, school authorities, and residents to remain calm, emphasising that there is currently no verified intelligence indicating any imminent attack in the state.
Commissioner of Police, Tijani Fatai, has directed an immediate assessment of the situation and ordered enhanced security deployment around schools and other strategic locations across Lagos.
“While every security concern is treated seriously, members of the public are advised to remain calm and avoid panic,” the statement said.
Police confirmed that operatives, working with other security agencies, have been deployed to safeguard schools, critical infrastructure, and communities.
