The Oyo State Police Command has dismissed reports claiming that prominent Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho, issued a fresh ultimatum to herders to leave the South West.
Naija News reports that the command spokesman, Adewale Osifeso, in a statement on Wednesday, disclosed that there is no truth in the report circulating online.
Osifeso noted that the story over the purported eviction of Herders at Igboho, Oorelope, Local Government Area of Oyo State by suspected separatist group members, is misleading and complete falsehood.
According to the statement, there was not any eviction notice from Igboho or any group.
Furthermore, the statement said the Commissioner of Police has tasked the supervising Area Commander in charge, to personally lead confidence-building patrols, as well as to increase the visibility of personnel around the jurisdiction, while more command’s operational, intelligence, and tactical assets have since been deployed to prevent any untoward occurrence.
The statement added, “The viral video which surfaced during the early hours of Tuesday, 16/07/2024 was specifically designed by agents of mischief to disrupt the relative peaceful ambience enjoyed in the State by inciting violence and civil disturbances.
“No notice of eviction was pronounced by any individual or group on anyone at any period in time.”
