IGP NEVER ORDERED A CURFEW, SUCH ANNOUNCEMENT FALSE, MISCHIEVOUS


The Nigerian Police has risen to debunk recent misinformation regarding the imposition of a curfew ahead of the planned nationwide protest.

Some news outlets, particularly https://www.dockaysworld.com.ng/ had  reported that the Inspector General of Police has imposed a strict curfew starting at 4 p.m. for all protests. 

The police through the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi described the information as entirely false and mischievous.

The NPF categorically stated that the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has not declared any curfew, additing that such information would have been communicated via the official Nigeria Police Force platforms if it were true.

Adejobi noted that the false publication suggesting otherwise is a product of the authors' imaginations and does not represent the position of the Nigeria Police. 

He urged all media outlets and the general public to disregard the misinformation and rely on official statements from the Nigeria Police Force or other authorized government agencies.
