SP Daniel Ndukwe,
The Enugu State Police Command has firmly denied reports that female officers were asked to contribute money for the 70th Nigeria Women Police Anniversary celebration.
The Command described the allegations, which appeared on Sahara Reporters, as “entirely false, baseless, and without any iota of truth.”
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Daniel Ndukwe, clarified that at no point did the Command issue such a directive to any officer, whether senior or junior.
He emphasized that the Nigeria Police Force has standardized procedures for issuing official orders and directives, and the purported message did not follow these established channels.
For clarity, SP Ndukwe said:
“The format and platform through which the alleged directive circulated clearly indicate that it did not originate from the Enugu State Command.”
Commissioner of Police, CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa, has called on the public to disregard the claims.
He has directed the State Intelligence Department (SID) to carry out a thorough investigation to identify those behind the circulation of the misleading information.
CP Giwa further urged any female officer who may have made payments in response to the purported message to come forward and assist with the ongoing probe.
The Command reiterated its commitment to transparency and adherence to official procedures, emphasizing that all directives are issued through proper, verifiable channels.
