The Command therefore, enjoins the general public to disregard the viral video/information and warns against tagging such video which happened in another State to have happened in Osun State and spreading or peddling of unconfirmed/unverified story/news.

However, the Commissioner of Police, Osun State Command, CP Ibrahim Gotan, mnips has put stringent security measure in place by deploying the Command Tactical squads and intelligence at the various borders of Neighboring States to reinforce security in Osun State.
