POLICE DENY LAND-GRABBING ALLEGATIONS AGAINST RIVERS CP

The Rivers State Police Command has dismissed allegations of land grabbing levelled against the Commissioner of Police, Olugbenga Adepoju, describing the claims as false, misleading and without factual basis.

The Command, in a statement, said the allegations were part of information circulating in the public domain concerning the police commissioner and certain land-related matters.

It maintained that the claims against Adepoju were not supported by the facts of the matter, urging members of the public to exercise caution and avoid relying on unverified reports.

The police said it remained committed to protecting the rights of residents and maintaining law and order across the state, stressing that officers and personnel are expected to discharge their responsibilities within the provisions of the law.

The Command also called on individuals with genuine complaints or evidence relating to any alleged misconduct to approach the appropriate authorities rather than resorting to the circulation of what it described as misleading information.

It reaffirmed its commitment to professionalism, accountability and transparency in the discharge of its constitutional responsibilities in Rivers State.
