The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a man, identified as Johnson Elleh, for allegedly producing and circulating a false video claiming that kidnapping and banditry activities were taking place along the Owode-Idiroko corridor of the state.
The Command said investigations revealed that the viral video was fabricated and deliberately designed to create fear, panic and anxiety among residents.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, the police disclosed that a thorough investigation was launched immediately after the video surfaced online.
