…Command deny victims have been moved to Kaduna via helicopter

The Oyo State Police Command has debunked a misleading and unfounded video currently circulating on social media, alleging that the abducted school children and teachers from Ahoro-Esiele and Yawota Communities in Orire Local Government Area of Oyo State have been moved to Kaduna State via a helicopter.

Olayinka Ayanlade, Deputy Superintendent of Police and Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), in a statement on Tuesday, said the video was entirely false, unverified, misleading, and devoid of any factual basis.

“The claim lacks credibility, substance, and the requisite threshold of authenticity expected of information relating to such a sensitive security matter.

“Members of the public are hereby informed that intensive rescue operations remain ongoing. The Oyo State Police Command, in close collaboration with other security and intelligence agencies, has significantly intensified efforts aimed at ensuring the safe rescue of all abducted victims, their prompt reunification with their families, and the apprehension and prosecution of those responsible for the unfortunate incident.
