The Ebonyi State Police Command has charged two content creators, Mr. Justice Ozibo and Mr. Isaac Edeh, with publishing false and unsubstantiated information against the command and the Commissioner of Police. This came after a social media post by Ozibo claiming that the police commissioner received N700,000 from six families to ensure their release on bail due to a land dispute involving a traditional ruler.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Joshua Ukandu, stated that the allegation is false and demanded evidence from the publisher. Ozibo and Edeh were arrested following discreet investigations, and neither could offer proof of the claimed payment or identify the supposed recipient of the funds. The police emphasized that the case involves a petition of alleged malicious damage, and the suspects were charged to court instead of being released on police bail.
The Ebonyi State Police Command affirmed its dedication to addressing lawful criticism and public complaints but warned of legal action against those who knowingly spread false or malicious information that could erode public trust in the police.
