Ignore viral video on eviction ultimatum to herders in Igboho – Oyo police

The police in Oyo have advised citizens to ignore a viral video by suspected separatist groups which surfaced on social media issuing eviction ultimatums to herders in the Igboho area of the state.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, SP Adewale Osifeso, made the call in a statement Wednesday in Ibadan.

Osifeso said that the video which surfaced online in the early hours of Tuesday was specifically designed by agents of mischief to disrupt the relative peace being enjoyed in the state by inciting violence and civil disturbances.

“The Oyo State Police Command wishes to dispel unfounded rumours and speculations across certain segments making the round on the social media, over the purported eviction of Herders at Igboho, Oorelope, Local Government Areas by suspected separatist groups members as misleading and complete falsehood.
