The Ogun State Government has refuted earlier reports of it inviting the popular Yoruba activist Mr Sunday Adeyemo popular known as Sunday Igboho to come to the state and help it curb insecurity in the state. 
Recall that it was earlier reported that the Special Adviser to the Governor of Ogun State on Public Communication Remmy Hazzan was quoted to have invited Ogbeni Sunday Igboho to the gateway state so as to help the state curb the rising insecurity in the state and the incessant attacks by the Fulani herdsmen in the state.
However, this story has been dismissed by the Ogun State Commissioner of Information and Strategy, Mr Abdulwaheed Odusile who affirmed that state did not at any point invite Mr Sunday Igboho to the State.
Mr Odusile, however, alleged that the statement by Mr Remmy Hazzan was twisted out of context saying what he said was that the “Ogun state government working with all the stakeholders both within and outside the state to ensure the security of lives and property”. 
Odusile said;
“The interview was twisted to achieve sensational effects. In the interview, Hazzan had said that the state government, in its usual inclusive approach to governance, would continue to work with all the stakeholders, both within and outside the state to ensure security of lives and property.
“Sadly, however, this statement was disingenuously twisted to mean that the state had invited Mr. Adeyemo to help curb insecurity. This is regrettable and totally misleading.
“The Dapo Abiodun-led administration, since inception, has been known to be inclusive in its approach, collaborating and engaging with a wide range of stakeholders including security issues.
“This has resulted in the achievement of the enviable status and recognition we enjoy as the most secured state in the country.”
