OSUN State Police Command on Tuesday, October 30, 2022 reacted to the alleged gunmen attack on Isaac Fayose, the younger brother of the former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, along Ife-Ibadan Highway, Gbongan in Osun State yesterday.
In its reaction available to SOJ WORLDWIDE, signed by the Force PPRO, SP Yemisi Opalola Olawoyin, she told our correspondent that the incident was not reported at any of their units as at the time it was going viral in Social Media.
However, the PPRO was able to get in touch with the alleged victim of the incident, Isaac Fayose whose account of the incident was different from what was reported in Social Media,
“It has come to the knowledge of the Command the circulation of a report on social media indicating that, ‘Isaac Fayose, the younger brother to the former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose narrowly escaped death by the whiskers from gunmen attacks along Ife-Ibadan Highway, on August 29, 2022.’
The Command hereby wishes to inform all members of the public that, no such incident was reported in any part of the State. Members of the public are hereby enjoined to report any complaints or incidences to the nearest Police Station, not on social media.
In the same vein, the Command has contacted Mr Isaac Fayose and he has narrated what really happened that, while he was on transit from Ekiti to Lagos State, at a point after Asejire Dam, towards Ibadan, he saw some travelers make a U-turn for fear of being attacked by presumed Armed Robbers and in his own attempt to make a U-turn, he had a minor accident. He stated further that, he did not see the purported kidnappers, neither was anyone injured nor abducted from the scene.
Meanwhile, CP urges members of the public to take time to verify the authenticity of whatever information they receive via the social media before circulating and make proper report of any incident to the nearest police station in the state or call these numbers: 08067788119 (PPRO Osun), 08039537995, 08123823981, 08075872433 (control room).
Police in Osun under the leadership of CP Olawale Olokode, psc, will not relent in their efforts to ensure that the citizens of the State and the travelers are safe and their property secured.”
