CSP OLUMUYIWA ADEJOBI
Nigeria Police has warned against the spreading or circulation of fake elections results on social media and other news platforms.
According to CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer at the Police Force Headquarters, Abuja, the act is contrary to the policy and guidelines of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
In a press stayement issued by CSP Adejobi, the Police viewed this trend as a calculated attempt to heat up the polity and possibly create post elections chaos.
“We regard this as a disservice, unpatriotic, and a disinformation”, Adejobi warned.
“The Nigeria Police hereby warns those who are spreading these alleged/fake election results to desist from such mischievous acts and wait patiently for INEC’s official results, which are authentic and tenable” he pleaded.
The NPF urges Nigerians to remain calm, and go about their lawful engagements, while those who are billed to go to the polls are requested to be orderly and law-abiding as we have re-enforced our security strategies for the smooth conclusion of the 2023 General Elections.
