Ogun State government has debunked the video being circulated on some social media platforms that bandits have taken over Ogere-Remo forest in the state.
In a statement in Abeokuta, the Chief Press Secretary to the State Governor, Mr Kunle Somorin, described the video as fake and not recorded in any forest in the state.
Mr Somorin said a fact check on the said video was that of the General Service Unit drone which captured armed cattle rustlers hiding with stolen livestock in Kenya, East Africa.
Mr Somorin added that the bandits who were seen making breakfast tried to shoot down the drone when they noticed it was recording them.
He noted that Ogun, under the leadership of Governor Dapo Abiodun, had not only been adjudged as the safest state to live in, but most serene to conduct businesses without fear.
While calling on the residents of the state to disregard the video and its content, Mr Somorin said the video was deliberate attempt to discredit the good work of Governor Abiodun, adding that the present administration would continue to ensure security of lives and property across the state.
He said operatives would be immediately deployed to the location mentioned, to prove to the residents that the video was nothing but hoax.
