#NigeriaDecides: Police react to plan of ‘raiding’ houses in Kwara

The Kwara state Police Command has spoken on reports going the rounds on social media that the command was planning to carry out raids from 8.00 p.m. on Feb. 21 and Feb. 22 across the state.

Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Ajayi Okasanmi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, in Ilorin on Thursday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) denied the report.

He said that there was no such order from the authorities to officers and men of the command.

He, therefore, urged members of the public to treat the post as fake news, saying that people should go about their normal and lawful businesses without any molestation.

Okasanmi restated the commitment of the command to continue to protect the lives and property of people in the state.
