Osun Police Deny Shooting Innocent Civilians, Say Shots Were Warnings
The Osun State Police Command has responded to a viral video claiming officers shot at innocent people in the Ogo-Oluwa area of Osogbo. The force says operatives acted on orders to arrest a suspect linked to AYE Confraternity after seeing him brandish weapons in an earlier viral clip. Locals allegedly tried to block the arrest. When the crowd became violent and threatened officers, warning shots were fired into the air to disperse the mob. The command insists no innocent bystanders were targeted. The arrested suspect is now assisting with investigations. The police urge the public to remain calm and provide credible information as the inquiry continues.
