The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has denied knowledge of a document in circulation containing conclusions of an alleged investigation into the Ondo state governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, result and certificate.
A press statement by the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Friday in Abuja, said, “THE NPF wishes to address the recent circulation of a document purportedly containing conclusions of an investigation into allegations against the Ondo state governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
“The document alleges fraudulent misrepresentation, certificate forgery, examination malpractice, and perjury against the governor.
“We wish to clarify that the said document did not originate from the NPF. The alleged signatory, a Deputy Commissioner of Police, does not have the authority to release such a report on behalf of the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) or any other such departments within the NPF.”
He added, “The NPF is currently investigating the origin of the said document and the circumstances surrounding its circulation. We urge the public to exercise caution and refrain from spreading unverified information that could potentially tarnish the reputation of individuals or public officials.
“Furthermore, we assure the public that any official communication or report regarding investigations conducted by the Nigeria Police Force will be released through appropriate channels.”
