The Police in Lagos State on Friday debunked reports that some suspected members of the Boko Haram terrorist sect were arrested in the state.
Spokesperson for the Lagos Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin in a statement said reports that hundreds of terrorists were arrested in Lagos is fake news.
According to Hundeyin, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Olohundare Jimoh had immediately ordered an investigation into the matter to ascertain the true position of the claim.
He said the outcome of the investigation showed that in the whole of Lagos State, not one single arrest of a suspected terrorist was made.
“The outcome of the investigation reveals that there is nowhere throughout Lagos State that the group mentioned in the report – Boko Haram – were seen or sighted or arrested.
“Furthermore, in the trailer park communities mentioned, the leaders, operators, and drivers in the indicated places in the report clarified to the police that there were no such elements of Boko Haram seen or arrested in those localities,” Hundeyin said.
He called on media organisations, journalists and Nigerians to always verify information before publication and sharing.
“Members of the public are encouraged by the Commissioner of Police to go about their duties and other means of livelihood without fear or apprehension.
“The writer of the story is advised to verify facts and truth of any information before going to the press,” he said.
