The Ondo State Police Command has refuted claims that it confirmed the killing of 20 farmers in an attack on four communities in the State.
According to the command, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in Ala received information about an attack at Sunday Camp, a settlement along the Ondo-Edo boundary, on March 8, 2025. However, the police insist they never verified any casualty figures as reported by some media outlets.
Commissioner of Police Wilfred Olutokunbo Afolabi has ordered an intensified covert operation to flush out criminal elements in the state. The command also urged journalists to verify information from official sources to avoid misinformation and public panic.
