The Kwara State Police Command has debunked viral reports claiming that bandits invaded Oke-Oyi and its neighbouring communities in the state.
In a statement issued on Thursday, June 18, 2026, the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, described the reports as false and misleading.
According to Ejire-Adeyemi, the command at about 9:15 a.m. received reports of panic and commotion at Government Girls Secondary School, Oke-Oyi, following claims that suspected bandits had invaded the school premises.
She said the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Oke-Oyi Division swiftly mobilized officers to the scene to restore calm and ensure the safety of students, staff, and residents.
“Preliminary findings revealed that the alarm was raised by a woman who rushed into the school premises claiming that bandits had arrived in the area,” Ejire-Adeyemi stated.
“The unverified claim triggered panic among students and teachers, leading to a temporary disruption of academic activities.”
