The Nigerian Police
Force described the allegations that went viral on social media on Monday as
false.
Nigerian Police Force
has reacted to the allegations of corruption and illegalities against the Inspector
General of Police, Mohammed Adamu.
On Monday, an online
publication read ‘Exclusive: How Nigeria’s Inspector-General of Police, Adamu,
Illegally Raised Millions of Naira for Construction of Training School in
Nasarawa’.
But in a statement on
Tuesday by the Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba the police explained
that the training school in Nasarawa was built with the support of the State
Government and several corporate partners.
According to Mba, the
insinuation that Mohammed Adamu sited the facility ‘in his hometown of Endehu
in Nasarawa State’, was not true.
“For the avoidance of
doubts, Endehu is not the hometown of IGP Adamu. He is, on the contrary, from
Lafia,” he added.
Mba added that the
police have “instructed its legal team to initiate legal actions against” the
online publication over what it sees as “the defamatory and libelous components
of the report.”
