The Ogun State Police Command has dismissed reports alleging that the Awujale Palace in Ijebu-Ode was besieged by suspected thugs, describing the claims as misleading.
The command explained that the deployment of police personnel to the palace was a preventive security measure aimed at maintaining law and order, protecting lives and property, and preventing a breakdown of public peace.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, disclosed that an Assistant Commissioner of Police was also deployed to supervise the operation and ensure effective coordination.
The command further clarified the circumstances surrounding the police invitation of Chief Adebisi Adaran, popularly known as Gbenden, following reports of his encounter with security operatives.
