. Debunk arrest claims

NEWSDAILYNIGERIA: The Nigeria Police Force has debunked claims by the Chairman of the Public complaints commission, Mr Muhuyi Magaji, that his was arrested.

However, the police, in a statement by the FPRO, Force Headquarters ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, denied the claim by the embattled PC Chairman, that he was only invited by the Police.

” The Nigeria Police Force has taken note of recent claims made by Mr. Muhuyi Magaji Rimin Gado, the Chairman of the Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission, regarding his alleged arrest by police authorities.

” We wish to clarify that Mr. Magaji was not arrested; instead, he was invited by the Force pertaining to a petition received against him.

” On Friday, January 17, 2025, the Inspector-General of Police Monitoring Unit received a petition against Mr. Muhuyi. In accordance with standard investigative protocols, he was invited to engage with police officials as part of due process in addressing the matter. Given his role as a public servant and a respected individual within society, it is expected of Mr Muhuyi to cooperate with the police to ensure a proper investigation is carried out, rather than seeking to create media attention.

” Any assertions indicating that Mr. Magaji was arrested are unfounded and misleading. We urge the media and general public to avoid disseminating misinformation that may cause unnecessary alarm or confusion. The Force remains committed to upholding the rule of law and following due process in all investigations.” the statement added.
