The Ogun State Police Command has arrested one Qawiyu Oloyede, a resident of Sokoto road, Atan-Ota for posting fake bandit attack video on the social media to heighten fear and anxiety over an unfounded and non-existent bandits invasion.

A video had been circulating on Sunday showing Oloyede being interrogated by police officers over this fake video.

The suspect who is said to be a tailor told the police that he created the video on false bandits attack to gain followers on social media.
