The Oyo State Police Command has dismissed as false and misleading viral reports circulating on social media alleging that abducted pupils and teachers from Ahoro Esiele and Yawota communities in Orire Local Government Area of Oyo State have been released.

In a statement issued on Thursday by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Olayinka Ayanlade, police said the claims were “categorically false, misleading, and entirely unsubstantiated,” stressing that no such development had taken place.

“As of the time of this release, there has been no such development, and members of the public are advised to disregard the report in its entirety,” the statement read.
