Signal Removing Police Aides From Politicians, VIPs, Fake —Force PRO

By Daniel Dafe

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has said that a signal in circulation on social media, purportedly originating from MOPOL 45 FHQ ABJ, ordering the removal of police aides from certain top politicians and their relatives is fake, saying “it did not emanate from the NPF or any of its formations.”

This was contained in a statement on Monday signed by CSP OLUMUYIWA ADEJOBI,
FORCE PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICER,
FORCE HEADQUARTERS,
ABUJA.

According to the statement, “the signal deviates from the Police’s telegraphic message structure and standard as the signal bears the signature of a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), which is highly irregular, as a signal of this nature would typically be signed by an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), who heads such formations, and not a higher-ranking officer.”

Continuing, the police said that “the Acting Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, has taken immediate notice and has ordered a thorough investigation into its source and assures that appropriate action will be taken against those responsible for its creation and dissemination.”
