The Nigeria Police Force NPF, has addressed the ambiguity surrounding a signal circulating on social media, purportedly originating from MOPOL 45 FHQ ABJ, ordering the removal of police aides from certain top politicians and their relatives.
The Police said the signal was fake and did not emanate from the NPF or any of its formations.
The authority further said 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.
A statement issued by Public Relations Officers, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the Acting Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has ordered a thorough investigation of the source of that signal while assuring that appropriate action will be taken against those responsible for its creation and dissemination.
