@NPF_Osun_State Wait oo Lunatic person carrying fabricated gun and objects shaped like bullect?? I don’t understand….. Are you people actually know what you’re posting? What if he’s armed robber? Using the fake Gun to scare people How did he get the Army Camouflage? lol something is wrong.

DSP ABIODUN OJELABI POLICE PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICER FOR: COMMISSIONER OF POLICE OSUN STATE COMMAND, OSOGBO JUNE 8, 2026

7/7 The Command urges the public to disregard misleading videos. Persons with mental disorders are being mistaken for bandits. We remain committed to protecting lives and property. For information, call 08039537995 or 08123823981.

@I_AM_WETHEBEST @minister_femi @Kaothaj So it’s just an intentional act to farm engagements.

If your office is not fully updated on the security situation in Osun State, especially the recent killings, please speak with the DPO of Pere Police Station in Ede North, SP Bamidele. He should be able to brief you properly. CSP Olusegun, the DPO of Okereși in Ede South, is already aware of the matter because it was formally reported to his office. I’m not here to do the police’s job for you. If you need more evidence or facts, kindly direct your officers to go out and carry out their lawful duties by carrying out full investigation into this matter which has been on various news outlets (punch news, naija confra and many more). The osun-state police command has several departments that can handle this, that is, if they are not too occupied chasing yahoo boys, mounting roadblocks, or extorting motorists on the highways. We expect better. These killings are serious, and the people of Osun State deserve real protection and prompt action.

*1/6* 🚨 OSUN POLICE PRESS RELEASE 🚨 The Osun State Police Command has arrested 22-yr-old Odetayo Adebayo Samuel of Ila Orangun for broadcasting false information on social media, contrary to Section 24 of the Cybercrimes Act, 2015.

@I_AM_WETHEBEST @minister_femi @Kaothaj So you’re aware the DPO are not oblivious to this matter meaning the Command is aware and an investigation is already being carried out but you have constantly come on here to discredit every effort or the Police like they really aren’t doing anything.

@I_AM_WETHEBEST @minister_femi @Kaothaj Adewuyi Olaoluwa discrediting every action of the Police is not accountability, it is noise. We will keep doing the work and arresting criminals while others trade in cynicism. Bring facts if you have them, not blanket attacks.

@minister_femi @Kaothaj @NPF_Osun_State They're quick to arrest people for defamation and those who are speeding online fake news but they are blind when it comes to bandits, cultist, kidnapperz and terrorists terorising our communities

@Armani_szn By your own logic then: since we’re denying that “anything we deny is the truth,” that means your claim is false. Stick to facts. Osun is secure.

@NPF_Osun_State Remember, whatever they deny is the truth 😂😂😂

This video is NOT from Osun State. It shows a military operation against insurgents in the North East. Deliberately mislabeling it to cause panic in Osun is misinformation and a criminal act. Take it down immediately or be ready to explain it to the Command. Elon musk money 🤦‍♂️

@Farisalfarik @Sunnexwilcox The message was passed or not ?

@NPF_Osun_State @Sunnexwilcox “Elon musk money” from a supposed police handle. The guy doesn’t even have a blue tick. It’s fine to ask him to take it down but the last remark wasn’t necessary at all. You should be more professional rather than trying to tweet like Gen-Z banger accounts.

@IfeomaOrji_ @AdejokeAder Pessimism is not prophecy. Osun remains calm and secure, and we won’t validate fear mongering dressed as prediction. If you have credible information, report it. If not, don’t wish evil into existence under our debunk. “Somehow somehow”, it will always remain in your imagination

@NPF_Osun_State @AdejokeAder Until somehow somehow, it becomes true

1/2 Our attention has been drawn to the misleading tweet by @AdejokeAder claiming a bandit invasion in Inisa and Oyan. This claim is false and was aimed at causing panic and inciting public unrest.

@I_AM_WETHEBEST Ok

Osun State Police, what's really going on? You people are always quick to arrest young boys for cybercrime, parading them on social media like you've won some big war. But when it comes to the cultists terrorizing our communities, you suddenly become clueless. Just last week, four people were killed in cult-related violence around the Federal Polytechnic area in Ede. Yesterday another person was pronounced dead — that's five lives lost in such a short time. Yet, the Osun State Police Command hasn't made a single arrest in connection with these killings. Not one! We have an Anti-Cultism Squad, but what exactly are they doing? People are now living in fear and panic in their own homes. The same police that move fast to arrest harmless young boys they label as "Yahoo boys" can't seem to tackle the real criminals moving freely in the state. The Commissioner of Police needs to wake up and take his job seriously. Instead of chasing people for defamation and cyberbullying, focus on the real threats that are terrorizing residents. This is getting out of hand. Do your actual job and protect the people of Osun State. @NPF_Osun_State @Osun_State_Gov @OsunDefender

We again warn members of the public to desist from spreading unverified information capable of inciting fear and disrupting peace.

2/2 The Command will take action against her unless she immediately posts a follow-up video disclaiming the false report and submits herself to clarify her reasons for the action, or she will face the full wrath of the law.
