If you recall, we informed you that veteran Nigerian musician Alariwo of Africa took to his official Facebook page to state that he was shot and robbed by armed in Oyo state capital, Ibadan. The Oyo State Police Command on Friday however, stated that it was not aware of the shooting as well as the robbery attack.
The Public Relations Officer of the Oyo State Police Command told reporters the shooting was not reported.
“We are not aware of the shooting you are talking about. It was not reported at all. When something like this happens, the appropriate thing to do is to report to the police and not on Facebook, Instagram or any of the social media. It is not the best way to help security challenge in Nigeria. The victim should have reported the case and help us with information to apprehend the perpetrators.” said Olabisi Ilobanefor
