The Ondo State Police Command has described as untrue the report trending on the social media that some Fulani herdsmen attacked and killed some passengers travelling along Lagos/Ore road.

The social media was flooded with the report on Wednesday, causing unnecessary panic in the state.

Spokesman of the command, Femi Joseph, urged members of the public to disregard the story.

The Vice President Professor Yemi Osinbajo has called for the creation of state police amid increasing security challenges in the country. He made the call on Thursday at a National Assembly security summit, as he believes this would help tighten security across the nation.
