The Nigeria Police Force has categorically rejected claims that they colluded with kidnappers and criminals to abduct road users for ransom. In a statement, the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Anietie Iniedu, emphasized that the allegations, made by Mr. Martins Vincent Otse, known as 'VeryDarkMan,' are unsubstantiated and harmful to an institution responsible for the safety of millions of Nigerians.
The Force has invited Mr. Otse to provide evidence to support his allegations, particularly any information suggesting that police personnel at checkpoints identify wealthy individuals and then inform kidnappers to facilitate their abduction. The Force assured that any such evidence would be investigated promptly. CSP Iniedu noted that the allegations require substantial evidence, given the dangerous and underfunded conditions in which police officers often work, frequently confronting the criminal elements they are charged with preventing.
The Force reiterated its commitment to transparency and accountability, urging any credible evidence of misconduct to be presented through official channels rather than through unfounded public accusations.
