Police say no gunmen in Abeokuta, warn against false alarm

Ogun police command has described as untrue and mere false alarm the story going round that some unknown gunmen in the early hours of yesterday have invaded Obada oko, Oke ata and some parts of Abeokuta metropolis.

The police claimed that the alarmist even went further to ask schools in those areas to close and send their pupils to their different homes for safety.

According to DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the
Police Public Relations Officer for the state said the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole, has deployed some officers and men of the command to the area and has discovered that nothing of such is happening anywhere around the mentioned places.

The command therefore appealed to members of the public to discontenance the false information as nothing of such is happening anywhere in the state.

 Oyeyemi, in the police release to the press also enjoined the people to go about their lawful businesses without the fear of any form of harassment or intimidation.

He warned those behind the false alarm to desist from it, noting that the tactical teams of the command have been activated to go after them and bring them to book.

He cautioned that raising false alarm to cause panic in the mind of general public is criminal and such barbaric act will no longer be tolerated.
