CITIZENS COMPASS— The Oyo State Police Command on Wednesday, said it did not invite High Chief Tajudeen Abioye, the Elesinele of Esinele in Oriire Local Government Area of the State in connection with the abduction of the teachers and students of some schools in Ogbomosho area.
The Command disclosed this through its spokesperson, Ayanlade Olayinka, in a statement.
It reads: The attention of the Oyo State Police Command has been drawn to a report currently circulating across cyberspace alleging that High Chief Tajudeen Abioye, the Elesinele of Esinele in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, has been invited for questioning in connection with ongoing investigations into the abduction of teachers and schoolchildren within the community.
The Command wishes to categorically state that this report is false, unfounded, and misleading. At no time was the said traditional ruler invited for questioning in relation to the ongoing investigation.
The Command views this publication as part of a deliberate campaign of misinformation and disinformation orchestrated by criminal elements aimed at creating division, generating unnecessary tension, and undermining coordinated security efforts currently directed at securing the safe rescue of the abducted victims and bringing perpetrators to justice.
Members of the public are therefore advised to disregard the report in its entirety and refrain from sharing unverified information capable of jeopardizing ongoing security operations.
The Oyo State Police Command remains committed to working in synergy with relevant stakeholders and security agencies to ensure the safe rescue of the victims and urges residents to continue supporting lawful efforts by providing credible and timely information through appropriate channels.
