In a statement on X, Force Public Relations Officer CSP Ani Iniedu indicated that the criminal allegations discussed by VeryDarkMan were already under judicial review, having been investigated based on legal advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecutions.

The police emphasized that the case falls under the jurisdiction of the courts and will not be influenced by media commentary or public sentiment. They also revealed that AIG Moshood Jimoh has been invited for questioning regarding the allegations, alongside a formal summons to VeryDarkMan to present evidence for his claims made publicly. This action underscores the police’s commitment to investigating credible misconduct allegations impartially, regardless of the individual’s status or position.

The police noted that disciplinary measures are guided by the Constitution, the Police Act 2020, and other administrative protocols. While acknowledging the public’s right to speak freely and critique institutions, they warned against spreading unverified claims. Freedom of expression does not include defamation or manipulating disciplinary processes through public pressure.

Consequently, any officers found guilty of misconduct will face legal actions, while individuals making false accusations could also incur legal repercussions. The Force encouraged VeryDarkMan to cooperate and let both the judicial and administrative reviews proceed without public intervention, asserting that grievances against officers should utilize the established complaint and oversight mechanisms. Overall, the police reiterated their commitment to professionalism, transparency, and accountability in fulfilling their constitutional duties, reinforcing that no officer is above the law.
