The Police Command in Lagos State has debunked claims circulating on social media regarding an alleged explosion incident in the state.
The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, Olohundare Jimoh, dismissed the report in a statement on Saturday by the command’s spokesperson, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin.
Jimoh clarified that no explosion occurred anywhere in Lagos State on Friday.
“The Command in Lagos State confirms that no explosion incident was recorded in any part of the state,”; he said.
The Commissioner of Police explained that the viral video online is from an earlier explosion on April 11 at a CCTV shop in Computer Village, Ikeja, adding that the incident remains under investigation.
According to him, proactive measures have been implemented to ensure sufficient police presence and maintain a safe environment for businesses and daily activities.
The CP urged residents to go about their lawful activities without fear or panic.
Jimoh reaffirmed the command’s commitment to protecting lives and property across the state.
He also advised bloggers and social media users to avoid spreading false information that could incite fear or public anxiety.
This is coming after by the Civilian Joint Task Force, CJTF, alleging that hundreds of suspected Boko Haram members were apprehended in the state.
