The Nigeria Police Force has exonerated one inspector, Christopher Marcel Nabugwu, who was accused by a masked lady in a viral video of living an extravagant lifestyle above his pay check.
In a statement by the Force spokesperson, ACP Muyiwa Adejobi stated that the video, which was dated 2018, was released by an estranged lover of the policeman.
The statement reads: “The Nigeria Police Force issues this statement to address recent allegations recirculating on social media, made by an unidentified masked female individual regarding the lifestyle of one of our officers, one Inspector Christopher Marcel Nabugwu (as he then was). The matter in question was thoroughly investigated five years ago when it first trended, at which time it was conclusively determined that there was no validity to the accusations. The allegations, including claims about the officer’s residence and vehicle details, were entirely false and without merit.
“Additionally, it has been revealed that the individual behind the video is an enstranged lover of the said officer, suggesting a motive of vengeance or personal vendetta.
“The Nigeria Police Force wishes to emphasize that the insinuation contained in the video is baseless and unfounded, while its recirculation after five (5) years is mischievous and a calculated attempt to malign the integrity of the Nigeria Police Force. The NPF remains committed to serving the country with professionalism and dedication, and we trust that this clarification puts an end to any misinformation or disinformation surrounding this matter.”
