CP Lanre Bankole, the Ogun State Police Commissioner, has sent out warning that people you desist from peddling fake rumours to avoid unnecessary panic in the state.
In a press release shared with this medium, that reads in part, "The attention of Ogun state police command has been drawn to a false alarm raised by some unknown persons in the early hour of today Thursday 23rd of June 2022, that some gunmen have invaded Obada oko, Oke ata and some parts of Abeokuta metropolis.
The alarmist went further to ask schools in those areas to close and send their pupils to their different homes for safety.
Having heard the false alarm, the commissioner of police, CP Lanre Bankole, quickly deployed some officers and men of the command to the area only to find out that nothing of such is happening anywhere around the mentioned places.
The command is therefore appealing to members of the public to discountenance the false information as nothing of such is happening anywhere in Ogun state, and our people should therefore go about their lawful businesses without the fear of any form of harassment or intimidation.
In view of this, the command wishes to warn those behind such false alarm to desist from it, as the tactical teams of the command have been activated to go after them and bring them to book.
Raising false alarm to cause panic in the mind of general public is criminal and such barbaric act will no longer be tolerated.
