The Ondo State government has denied knowledge of any arrest of suspected Boko Haram members by the military personnel in some communities in Akoko area of the state last week.

The state government which described the report as untrue, noted that the state remains the safest and most peaceful in the country.

The state’s commissioner for information, Hon Kayode Akinmade, stated these in Akure, the state capital yesterday.
