The Ogun State Police Command has addressed concerns regarding video clips circulating on social media that include threats against communities and educational institutions in the state. In a statement released on Thursday, the police identified the videos as artificially generated and not affiliated with any terrorist group.
Forensic analysis conducted by the Command’s cybercrime and intelligence units indicated that the content was created using artificial intelligence by an unidentified entity. The police noted that these videos did not originate from any known extremist organization. The footage first appeared online approximately three months ago and has since been shared in various modified forms.
Authorities confirmed that there is currently no credible intelligence indicating that any attacks are planned against communities, schools, or public institutions in Ogun State. Residents are advised to stay calm, avoid sharing unverified information, and continue their daily activities without fear. The public is also encouraged to report any suspicious activity to the closest police station.
In efforts to maintain security and public confidence, the Commissioner of Police has mandated increased surveillance and patrols, along with strengthened inter-agency cooperation to ensure safety throughout the state. The police reaffirmed that Ogun State remains safe and secure, committed to protecting lives and property in collaboration with other security stakeholders.
