A statement released by the Lagos state police command spokesperson, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole, rubbished the rumors being spread by some people that there was a bomb blast at the Mafoluku- Oshodi area of Oshodi/Isolo LG on Saturday, saying that the video being circulated as proof was actually from the Banex bomb blast in Abuja in 2014.
The statement read....
“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".
