The Oyo State Police Command has dismissed reports claiming that the students, pupils, and teachers abducted in Orire Local Government Area have been rescued, describing the information as false and misleading.
In a statement issued by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Ayanlade Olayinka, the police clarified that the victims are yet to be released, while intensive efforts by security agencies remain ongoing to secure their safe rescue and apprehend those behind the abduction.
The Command urged members of the public to disregard the circulating rumours and remain calm as joint security operations continue in the affected area.
According to the statement, the spread of fake news and unverified information only creates unnecessary panic, heightens public tension, and distracts security operatives from critical rescue operations.
“The Command hereby debunks the rumour currently circulating that the victims have been rescued. Members of the public are urged to remain calm, support the ongoing efforts of the joint security team, and verify every piece of information before sharing it.”
The police assured residents of Oyo State that verified updates would be communicated to the public as developments unfold.
The Command also advised individuals seeking authentic information or clarification to contact the Police Public Relations Officer or the Command’s control room through the designated emergency lines.
