Catholics seminarians mistaken for
Boko Haram members in Ogun

Dimeji Kayode-Adedeji - 10 mins ago

The Ogun State Police Command on Tuesday
debunked rumours of the arrest of some
members of Boko Haram sect in the state.
Some residents of Akute in Ifo local government
area had put a distress call to the police on
sighting strange faces in their communities.
The men were bearded and wearing white robes.
They were later discovered to be Catholic
seminarians visiting a friend in the community.
“The attention of the Ogun State Police Command
has been drawn to a rumour being widely
circulated that the command has arrested some
members of the Boko Haram Sect in Akute area of
Ogun State,” the police spokesperson, Muyiwa
Adejobi, said in a statement.
“The Command wishes to debunk the rumour and
set the records straight that those seen and
challenged by members of the public at Akute
area were actually students of the Franciscan
Friars of the Immaculate Seminary School,
Sagamu, Ogun State who came on a visit to a
friend at Kayode Afolabi Close, Mubarak Estate
Akute, Ogun State, before a distress call was put
across to the Divisional Police Officer in Charge of
Ajuwon Division.”
He said the men were taken to the Police
Divisional Office for interrogation where their
identities were confirmed.
“The leaders and representatives of the said
seminary school in Sagamu and the Catholic
priest in Akute as well as the host of the students
have come to the Police Division in Ajuwon to
identify them as their Catholic members who are
actually on training in the school in Sagamu,” Mr.
Adejobi said.
“The information being peddled around is not
true and the command therefore appeals to the
general public to always clarify issues before
spreading wrong and unconfirmed information via
all available means, particularly sensitive issues on
security.”
