The Imota Local Council Development Area and management of GBEDU 100.1FM have reassured residents that Imota remains peaceful and secure following the circulation of a viral video and a radio broadcast alleging that two schoolgirls were killed during a bandit attack on a primary school in the community.
The false report, which sparked concern among residents and parents on Monday, claimed that armed bandits had invaded a public school in Imota and killed two pupils.
The claim gained traction after it was aired during a live phone-in segment on GBEDU 100.1FM and subsequently circulated on social media.
Reacting to the development, the Executive Chairman of Imota LCDA, Benson Sunday Ayodele, issued a Monday statement describing the report as “false, misleading, and entirely unfounded.”
