Bankole Taiwo, Abeokuta
Ogun state Police Command on Tuesday debunked rumour of abduction of 20 persons at Kara bridge along Lagos/Ibadan expressway saying that the report was blatant lie and fake news.
The command in a statement issued by its Spokesman, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, disclosed that the wicked lie from the pit of hell and being circulated on social media was to only make people to panic unnecessarily.
Oyeyemi said “There is nothing like kidnapping of one talkless of 20 persons at the Kara bridge or anywhere along Lagos- Ibadan expressway.
“Those behind the fake news are mere mischief makers, who always derive joy from causing unnecessary panic in the mind of innocent members of the public.
“The general public are hereby advised to discountenance the fake news as nothing of such happened at the said Kara bridge.
“In view of the road construction work going on in that axis, the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole, has ordered 24hrs surveillance patrol of the area to checkmate the activities of hoodlums who might wanted to take advantage of the traffic jams to perpetrate evil.’’
