The attention of the Ondo State Police Command has been drawn to reports circulating on some media platforms regarding an alleged letter purportedly written by a bandit involved in the tragic Owo church attack, threatening to strike again.
The Command wishes to state unequivocally that while the source and authenticity of the said letter remain unverified, the report has necessitated a prompt and strategic response in the interest of public safety.
In response, the Commissioner of Police has ordered the heavy deployment of operational assets to all churches and mosques across the state, particularly during days of worship.
Surveillance and patrol activities have also been significantly intensified to forestall any potential attack and reassure the public of their safety.
The Ondo State Police Command uses this medium to urge media houses and members of the public to desist from spreading unverified information or fake news that could heighten tension and cause unnecessary panic.
Such actions are counterproductive and capable of undermining the security progress we have collectively achieved.
Residents of Ondo State are therefore advised to go about their lawful activities without fear or panic.
The Police, in collaboration with other security agencies, remain fully committed to ensuring the safety and security of all lives and property in the state.
For any suspicious activity or information, members of the public are encouraged to contact the nearest police station or use the emergency lines made available by the Command.
