Hamzat has denied any involvement or links to a suspect arrested in connection with a recent robbery raid in Oyo State, describing the allegations as false and part of a coordinated smear campaign against his reputation.
Titansloaded reports that the clarification comes amid growing online discussions following the arrest of individuals allegedly connected to a robbery incident in the state, which sparked speculation about possible links to public figures.
In a strongly worded response, Hamzat dismissed the claims as baseless, insisting that he has no relationship, either directly or indirectly, with any of the suspects or criminal activities under investigation.
He further stated that the allegations being circulated were deliberately fabricated to mislead the public and damage his political and personal image.
According to him, the story is being pushed by individuals seeking to exploit the robbery case for political purposes, urging the public to disregard what he described as malicious misinformation.
The controversy emerged after security operatives reportedly carried out a raid in Oyo State, leading to the arrest of suspected armed robbers who are currently being interrogated by law enforcement authorities.
Following the operation, unverified reports began circulating on social media, attempting to associate Hamzat with one of the arrested suspects.
However, Hamzat maintained that he is not involved in any criminal activity and challenged those behind the claims to provide credible evidence to support their allegations.
Security agencies are still conducting investigations into the robbery incident, with efforts ongoing to determine the full extent of the suspects’ network and possible accomplices.
Authorities have not confirmed any political or public figure connection to the arrested individuals as at the time of filing this report.
Hamzat called on media platforms, bloggers, and social media users to exercise caution and verify information before publishing or sharing content that could harm reputations.
He also urged security agencies to continue their work professionally and ensure that justice is served based on facts and evidence.
The matter remains under investigation as the public awaits further updates from law enforcement authorities regarding the Oyo robbery case.
