The Ogun State Police Command has arrested Qawiyu Oloyede for allegedly posting a fake bandit attack video on social media to create fear and panic over a non-existent invasion.
The video, which went viral on Sunday, shows Oloyede being interrogated by police officers over the fake video. The suspect, who is said to be a tailor, disclosed to the police that he made the video of a false bandit attack to gain followers on social media.
Oloyede said, “I created the fake bandit attack and posted it on social media to gain followers. The Fulani that I used is a herder that used to bring his cows to graze behind my shop, even the Fulani herder did not want to participate in the act.”
“I don’t know how to even read and write, I didn’t go to school, it was my apprentice that wrote the accompanying message to the video. I have only done two of such videos which I posted on Monday and on Wednesday.”
The Ogun State Police spokeperson, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, confirmed the arrest of Oloyede, saying that his case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department.
