The Nigeria Police Force has issued a statement debunking the authenticity of a document currently circulating, which alleges various offenses, including certificate forgery and perjury, against Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa. The document, which has been widely shared across different media platforms, claims to detail the findings of an investigation implicating the governor in fraudulent activities.
The police clarified that the document did not emanate from their offices, noting that the signature of a Deputy Commissioner of Police attached to the report does not align with the protocols of releasing such sensitive findings. The alleged signatory, they revealed, lacks the authority to disseminate reports on behalf of the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) or any related department within the Nigeria Police Force.
Given the serious nature of the allegations and the potential for such claims to damage reputations, the police are now actively investigating the source of the document and how it came to be distributed. The force emphasized the importance of relying on verified information and cautioned the public against sharing unverified materials that could unjustly harm individuals or public officials.
The Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, reassured the public that any official reports or communications from the Nigeria Police Force regarding investigations would only be made available through established and recognized channels. This statement aims to mitigate the spread of false information and ensure that the integrity of individuals and the police force remains intact.
As the investigation into the fake document’s origins continues, the police force has urged patience and responsible sharing of information among the public. They remain committed to transparency and accuracy in their official communications, particularly concerning matters of public interest and governance.
