Lagos State Police Command has debunked the rumour milling round through viral WhatsApp voice note which claimed that Fulanis have camped in Muhammadu Buhari Estate, Agemowo, Badagry, prepared for a massive attack.
Describing the voice-note as false, the command, in a statement issued by the command’s spokesman, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, on Wednesday, June 8, 2022, said that it was mischievously designed to cause unnecessary panic within Lagos State.
“It is worthy of note that there is Morogbo police division close to the estate. There is also Mowo Police Outpost next to the estate. Police presence and intelligence gathering in the area is top notch.
“In a bid to be double sure that the claims are false, the Divisonal Police Officer of Morogbo visited the estate again today, inspected the entire facility and had an exhaustive session with the Facility Manager. The outcome of the operational visit lends credence to the futility of the voice note.
“While all residence of Lagos State are enjoined to disregard the voice note, they are all assured by the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Abiodun Alabi, that the police command, in synergy with sister security agencies, is fully prepared to nip any criminality in the bud; and would leave no stone unturned in ensuring continued peace in the state,” the statement read.
