The Oyo State Police Command has dismissed reports of an alleged bandit attack in Ogbomoso and adjoining communities, describing the incident as a false alarm fuelled by misinformation and unverified claims circulated among residents and students.
In a statement signed by its spokesman, Olayinka Ayanlade, the Oyo Police Command said panic erupted across parts of Ogbomoso and nearby communities, including Ajaawa Town, following rumours that suspected armed bandits had invaded the area and attacked the vicinity of Are-Ago High School.

According to the Command, the rumours triggered fear among residents, prompting the immediate deployment of surveillance and patrol teams to assess the situation and forestall any possible breakdown of law and order.
The Oyo State Police Command in a statement confirmed  that there was no bandit attack, invasion, or any form of security breach in the affected areas as falsely portrayed the statement noted.
