The Nigeria Police Force has issued a statement dismissing a
viral “wanted” notice circulating on social media about Nollywood actress Iyabo
Ojo.
The notice, widely circulated on social media, claiming
Iyabo Ojo was wanted by the Office of the Inspector General of Police
Monitoring Unit, was described by the police as “false, misleading, and not
issued by the Force.”
In a post on its official Facebook page, the NPF clarified
that the notice did not originate from the Force and was not posted on any of
its official platforms.
The statement reads, “FAKE NEWS ALERT! This ‘WANTED’ poster
of actress Iyabo Ojo did not emanate from the Nigeria Police Force. It is
false, misleading & was never posted on any official NPF platform.
Disregard & stop spreading fake news.”
The police emphasized the importance of verifying
information only through official NPF communication channels before sharing or
reacting to news to avoid being misled by fake news.
“Verify only from official NPF channels,” the statement
further reads.
