Osun State Government has debunked news making the rounds that there would be a breach of security in Ofatedo, Egbedore local government on Friday.
The state Commissioner of Information and Civic Orientation, Funke Egbemode maintained that there was no iota of truth in the information as it was mere rumours.
She said the state government had taken necessary measures by immediately deploying a contingent of security agencies to Ofatedo to forestall any breakdown of law and order as well as to allay the fears and anxieties of the residents.
The government noted that the action came about after it viewed with concern the growing state of fear and apprehension among residents of Ofatedo community and its environs over the current state of insecurity there.
While warning rumour mongers to desist from all acts that can lead to any breach of the peace that the state is enjoying, the government said normalcy has since returned to the community and its surrounding towns.
“Consequently, the governor of the state, Adegboyega Oyetola is appealing to residents of Ofatedo community and its environs to continue to go about their normal businesses without fear, tension and anxiety”, the announcement concluded.
The Nigeria Police, Osun Command has also debunked the rumours that some suspected Fulani herdsmen had invaded Ofatedo community.
