• • An administrative review has also led the Force to summon AIG Jimoh for questioning by the Assistant Inspector-General of Police overseeing the Force Criminal Investigation Department.

  • VeryDarkMan’s accusations stemmed from a video concerning the death of Sheriff Salami, where he challenged AIG Jimoh over alleged conspiracies to frame businessman Ahmed Tajudeen Akanbi for murder.

  • According to a statement issued on Tuesday by Force Public Relations Officer CSP Ani Iniedu, the underlying criminal case has already been investigated, received legal advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP), and is currently pending before a competent court.

  • Stressing that the case is sub judice, the police emphasized that they refuse to handle the trial through media commentary or allow public campaigns to influence the outcome.

  • The Force CID in Abuja officially invited Otse on July 30, 2026, requesting his physical presence in Abuja to provide evidence substantiating his public claims.

  • Highlighting its dedication to probing all credible misconduct allegations regardless of rank or public status, the police noted that internal discipline follows uniform guidelines under the Constitution, the Police Act 2020, regulations, and administrative procedures.

  • While acknowledging citizens’ constitutional rights to free speech and institutional accountability, the Force cautioned that these rights do not protect defamation or unverified allegations designed to bypass due process.

  • The police stated they may pursue legal remedies if claims are proven false and maliciously intended to tarnish the reputation of the institution or its officers.

  • Ultimately, the police advised Otse to respect the Force CID invitation, cooperate with the administrative review, let the judicial proceedings unfold without interference, and utilize official oversight mechanisms for any grievances.
