The police in Osun State has debunked the report being circulated in social media that some residents of Famia axis of Modakeke were attacked on Sunday night.

A statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer of the Osun State Police command, Yemisi Opalola on behalf of the commissioner of Police, Wale Olokode described the report as a fake and blatant lie.

The statement maintained that there is no iota of truth in the report being circulated on the said incident adding that it was an erroneous belief that some people came to attack people from Famia axis.

According to the state Police command, the local vigilantes guiding the area against thieves and hoodlums were on their routine show of force as any other places, to alert the people of the community of their presence as well assure them of safety.

It added that the exercise led to panic as people became apprehensive, thinking they were under attack.

The Commissioner of Police in the Olawale Olokode assured the good people of Osun of his unrelenting commitment to ensuring adequate security of the state, which he is overseeing without any fear of attack or molestation.
