The attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been
drawn to a report by Sahara Reporters, New York on August 26, 2016 captioned
Inspector General Idris accused of Massive looting, violation of public trust.
2. The Nigeria Police Force would ordinarily not
join issue on news item that has no substance and completely false, but to put
the record straight;
the report was studied and all the allegations
asserted against the Inspector General of Police, Ag. IGP Ibrahim K. Idris NPM,
mni and the Nigeria Police Force in the write up were found out to be
completely false, misleading and malicious in its entirety, and obviously the
hand work of distractors and mischief makers, whose intention is to distract
the Inspector General of Police from carrying out its statutory duties of
ensuring that Nigeria is secured and crime free.
3. The Inspector General of Police, Ag. IGP Ibrahim K.
Idris NPM, mni have served in various capacities within the Nigeria Police
Force and International Communities without blemish. The IGP is focused and
determined to accomplish his statutory responsibilities to all Nigerians and continue
to serve his country and will not be distracted by distractors who take
advantage of the media to launch a personal attack and campaign of calumny
against his personality and the Nigeria Police Force.
4. The Nigeria Police Force wishes to enjoin members
of the general public and other persons who must have read the report to
disregard and discountenance the story as totally unfounded without any iota of
truth.
5. The media, most especially the new/social media
outfits are hereby implored not to allow malicious/ mischief makers to take
advantage of them to misinform and mislead the public. The Nigeria Police Force
will continue to partner with the media, other stakeholders and the general
public to ensure that Nigeria is safe for every Nigerian and visitors alike.
