The attention of the Oyo State Police Command has been called to the news circulating in a section of the media with the above headline.

The true position of this is that no such incident happened and no such magnitude of houses and cars were burnt at Odo-Osun/Ita bale/Aderogba areas of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

What really happened was that hoodlums from these areas came out in the early hours of 29/01/2021, in their usual manner, with dangerous weapons to loot shops and set up bonfires. A house and about two shops were looted. But the swift response of Police patrol teams doused tension and the hoodlums were dislodged.

Routine patrols were intensified to forestall further attacks and lootings. Sequel to this, at about 2015 hrs, the hoodlums from Aderogba area came out again and attempted to vandalize and loot shops at Beyerunka/Ogbori Efon areas. Police patrol teams and those of Amotekun were drafted to the area. During a hot chase by the teams, a cut-to-size dane gun was recovered from one of the hoodlums while bonfires set up were put out.

The hoodlums thereafter fled the scene.

Constant routine patrols have been intensified in those areas and normalcy has been restored. The Police are on the trail of these hoodlums to get them arrested and carry out prosecution accordingly.

They are only been used by some people who Wish Oyo state to be in a state of Comatose and chaos. I just hope Nairaland won't allowed herself to be sued. Pushing every materials to front page without ascertaining the True State of things. Am now believing that one of the moderators is a staunch hater of Makinde and PDP on Oyo state just last week. Nah soso Oyo state news fill nairaland like say nah only Oyo state dey witness arm robbery incidents or civil unrest. But nada , The happenings in other state won't be aired or reported but shield in secrecy. Sahara reporters has also gone to the dogs and lost her credibility reason why all news from them need to be vetted now.

With the latest events in Nigeria, following the crowds could be disastrous..

Shame on all those wishing war to happen in any of the SW states including the Acclaimed NL Omoluwabi, that expected a miscreant like Igboho to lead a war he wasn't appointed for.

They are not Omoluwabi but instead Omoburuku Onijagidijagan

Yeah. The wise intelligent move Seyi makinde used in quelling the war monger last week really pained those people ,There wish was for Seyi makinde to support Ighoho and this same set of people will come back again and use it against him and start saying his government is government of thugs supporting rascality . But alas , The guy wise ,He openly condemned it and they were all ashamed.

If 200 houses were actually burnt, it would have been a major headline na..it was obviously an exaggerated story.

Some of these news platforms need to be checked!

But some people are swallowing those lies.

Same Sahara reported about 10 acres of cashew farm burnt, all grace FP on NL.

It seems critical thinking is challenging to some Nigerians youths

I thought as much

What is happening in Oyo state these days?Gov Seyi makinde need to man up and provide security for live and property.God bless Oyo state

I went to some places yesterday, I'm yet to see any burnt houses, people are busy selling their goods

200 houses How many houses go remain for those areas

It will not be well with Sahara reporters and those foolish bloggers that are using fake news to cause more harm than good in this country, even this nonsense NL is not exception..NL also posted this news on front page without confirmation.

It's time each state made laws to punish any useless publication or media (whether online or print) that promote or report unverified information about the state; especially one that might incite tension and/or unrest.
All news of unrest come from certain elements who wishes war in the south west for political gain but God will shame all of them. They will all be defeated and embarrassed. They are losers and fvcked up.
As for Sahara Reporter, they have sunk so deep the blue sea like the person of their owner and CEO that no good thing can be expected to come out of them by any well thinking Nigerian.
