The Lagos State Police Command has issued an urgent rebuttal to viral social media posts claiming that armed bandits have invaded several communities, including Ibeju-Lekki, Imota, and Oke-Afo, targeting schools and children.

In a statement released on Monday, the Command labelled the circulating graphic alerts as “false, misleading, and unfounded,” stating that there is currently no security crisis or coordinated attack on any school or community in the state.
