The Ogun State government has denied information being peddled around about the kidnapping of people in Kara, a border settlement between the state and Lagos. 

A statement in Abeokuta on Wednesday by the State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Alhaji AbdulWaheed Odusile described the news as fake and urged the people to ignore it.

“There is no kidnapping taking place in Kara or anywhere in Ogun State.The state is peaceful, safe and secure for all law abiding citizens and businesses.  

“The general public should ignore such rumour and go about their businesses normally and peacefully”, the statement said, adding that the state Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun has ordered the Police and other security agencies to be on their toes and ensure all round security and protection for all law abiding citizens. 

While urging those spreading the rumour to desist from such, the statement warned that the full weight of the law will be brought down on those bent on causing chaos and crisis in the state.
