LAGOS — The Lagos State Police Command has dismissed as misleading a viral video circulating on social media claiming to show the arrest of Fulani men with arms and ammunition in the Ikorodu area of the state.
The Command said the footage is an old video linked to an incident that occurred more than three years ago and does not reflect the current security situation in Ikorodu or any part of Lagos State.
In a statement issued on Sunday by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Adebisi, the Command warned members of the public against spreading unverified information capable of causing panic and undermining public confidence.
