No mob attack on Tinubu’s convoy in Osu – Police

Osun State Police has discarded a raging report that the convey of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu was attacked in the state.

In a statement on Sunday by its spokesperson, SP Yemisi Oplalola, the police said its attention has been drawn to the news making the rounds and video trending on social media that Osun Youths attacked Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s convoy on Saturday.

The command explained the trending video on social media was the attack on the Osun State Governor Oyetola Gboyega’s convoy by EndSARS protesters about two years ago, on 17th of October 2020, and not the 8th of October 2022, as being mischievously circulated.

“The Commissioner of Police, CP Olawale Olokode, (now AIG), wishes to state that the news/video is misinforming and misleading, which is a calculated attempt to cause apprehension or state of insecurity in the state by some unscrupulous elements.

“To put the record straight, I wish to inform you that Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu did not come to Osun State for any program of late at all,” the statement read.

Olokode, therefore, enjoined the people of the state to disregard the information and go about their legitimate businesses without entertaining fear of insecurity, as necessary security measures to forestall any likely breakdown of law and order is in place.
