The Nigeria Police Force, on Friday, debunked the claims following a 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. 

This was contained in a statement issued by the Force's public relations officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in Abuja. 

The statement reads: “We wish to clarify that the circulation of a document purportedly containing conclusions of an investigation into allegations against the Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa 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.” 

Adejobi said the force would commence an investigation into the matter and urged the public to desist from such information.

He said, “The Nigeria Police Force 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. “

He assured the public that any official communication or report regarding investigations conducted by the Nigeria Police Force would be released through appropriate channels.
