The Ekiti State Police Command says it noticed a disturbing trend currently happening in the State where false alarms are being raised by yet to be identified persons, that bandits are/were attacking or coming to attack some schools in the State.
This was contained in a statement by the police spokesman, SP Abutu Sunday in Ado Ekiti.
According to him, these false alarms were recently raised in some Schools at Ilawe-Ekiti, Ifaki-Ekiti, Oye-Ekiti, Omuo-Ekiti, Odo-Ado Area of Ado-Ekiti, Otun, Efon, Igbemo-Ekiti, Ayetoro/Iloro High School, amongst others, prompting students and pupils in those areas to scamper for safety, leaving the Schools empty and causing unnecessary apprehensions in those areas.
“The Command, while urging everyone to be vigilant, security conscious and promptly report suspicious persons found in their environments to the Police, states clearly that fake news and false alarms are criminal offences as stipulated in Sections 24 and 59 of the Cybercrimes Act 2024 as amended and the Criminal Code respectively, as those found wanting will be made to face the full wrath of the law.
“The Command therefore implores everyone to disregard all the trending false alarms of attack on schools, verify information before sharing, go about their lawful activities but be security conscious, while prioritizing the security of lives and property of all citizens. Members of the public are urged to call 08062355977 in case of emergencies.”
