The Lagos Police Command has urged Lagosians to avoid panicking or raising false alarm due the security situation in the country.
Spokesperson of the command, Benjamin Hundeyin made the call in a terse statement on Sunday after two churches called to report seeing strange looking men in their midst during service on Sunday, June 12.
”Today alone, two churches called the Police that they spotted strange looking men in their midst. One church even claimed it was ‘three Fulani men’ they saw.

“We responded swiftly. The men were not Fulani and had nothing incriminating on them. However, we are still investigating.
“Unfortunately, even before our arrival, panic-filled voice notes started flying around. While we appreciate security consciousness and speaking up promptly, we enjoin Lagosians not to panic, be jumpy or paranoid. All said, if you see something, still say something,” he wrote on Twitter.
