She threatened to do much more.

“Upon sighting this video on different social media platforms and as a responsive and responsible agency of government saddled with the responsibility of controlling the spread of HIV/AIDS in Osun State, we wrote a petition to the Police about the individuals who are behind the panic video which turned out to be a prank.

“As we speak, the individuals involved are currently with the Police for further investigation.

“We will not tolerate any act of irresponsibility capable of undermining the fight and effort of the government against HIV/AIDS in Osun State.

“We call on all the skitmakers and social media influencers to seek appropriate information about any subject matter, more importantly HIV/AIDS before publishing their works.

“We urge the general public to always make clarification about videos and messages before circulating them. Our office is open to all forms of complaints about HIV and its control in Osun State.”
