The Ogun State Police Command has clarified that the video currently circulating online showing the arrest of suspected kidnappers in Ijebu-Igbo is an old footage from 2024 and not a recent incident.
In a statement issued to address growing public concern, the Command urged residents and social media users to disregard misleading claims suggesting the video reflects a fresh security development in the area.
According to the police, the footage originated from an operation carried out in 2024 and has now resurfaced online with false narratives capable of causing unnecessary panic among members of the public.
The Command advised residents to verify information through credible and official channels before sharing such content on social media platforms.
Police authorities further warned against the spread of misinformation and recycled security-related videos, noting that such actions could undermine public confidence and create fear within communities.
The Command reassured residents of its continued commitment to maintaining security and ensuring the safety of lives and property across Ogun State.
