The Nigeria Police Force says it is not aware of alleged fraudulent misrepresentation, certificate forgery, examination malpractice, and perjury against Ondo State governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi in a statement issued Friday said an alleged document purportedly containing conclusions of an investigation into allegations against the governor did not emanate from the police.
He said: “The Nigeria Police Force 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 Nigeria Police Force. 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 Nigeria Police Force.
“The Nigeria Police Force is currently investigating the origin of the said document and the circumstances surrounding its circulation.”
The police, therefore, urged the public to exercise caution and refrain from spreading unverified information that could potentially tarnish the reputation of individuals or public officials.
It also assured the public that any official communication or report regarding investigations conducted by the Nigeria Police Force would be released through appropriate channels.
