The Ogun State Police Command has arrested one Johnson Elleh for producing and circulating a misleading video alleging kidnapping and banditry activities along the Owode-Idiroko axis of Ogun State.

The Spokesperson for the state police command, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.

Recall that the command recently arrested one Qawiyu Oloyede, a resident of Sokoto Road, Atan-Ota, for posting a fake bandit attack on social media to heighten fear and anxiety over an unfounded and non-existent bandit invasion.

Oloyede, a tailor, had reportedly told the police that he created the video of a false bandit attack to gain followers on social media
