The Lagos State Police Command, on Saturday advised members
of the public to disregard false reports of a bomb blast in Oshodi area of
Lagos.
The spokesman of the command, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole said
in a statement on Saturday that report of the purported blast in the social
media was absolutely false.
“We would like to allay the fears of the general public with
regards to the falsehood being circulated on the social media in respect of
security situation at Mafoluku-Oshodi and environs.
“Oshodi is relatively calm and not boiling as being
erroneously peddled. It is mischief and callousness to put people in fear.
“Video footage being circulated to back the false
information is that of the bomb incident around Banex Plaza, Abuja in 2014.
“The Lagos State Police Command avail this opportunity to
reassure members of the public that we will continue to work in partnership
with the good people of Lagos and other Security Agencies to ensure safety and
security of lives and properties.
“ Always remember to say something if you see something,”
the statement added.
