The news soon spread like wild fire as hundreds of residents trooped to Akindele House, Isale Asaka, Foko, Ibadan, to catch a glimpse of the strange fish.
But the state Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Ndabawa, on Wednesday while addressing newsmen in his office in Ibadan, said the purported mermaid was a baby octopus, assuring the residents not to panic.
He said the rumour was given publicity on the internet insisting the object was an octopus and displayed it to Journalists present in his office to debunk the false reports.
He also said Ramota has been placed under protective custody for her safety and would be allowed to go home once tension within the town is doused.
