The Oyo State Police Command has dismissed reports that abducted students, pupils and teachers in Orire Local Government Area of the state have been rescued, describing the information as false and misleading.
The Oyo State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ayanlade Olayinka, made this known in a statement released on Friday, May 22, 2026.
Olayinka said the victims were still in captivity as security agencies continued intensive operations to ensure their safe release and arrest those responsible for the abduction.
The police spokesperson urged residents and the public to remain calm and support ongoing rescue efforts rather than spreading unverified information that could cause panic.
According to him, the circulation of fake news and disinformation could increase tension and distract security agents from crucial operations aimed at rescuing victims.
