The attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to a rumour peddled on one “Osun People’s Chat Forum” titled “Aregbesola’s APC just credited the accounts of Policemen and other security agencies serving in Osun with N50,000.00 each”
According to DCP Jimoh Moshood, Force Public Relations Officer, the Force wishes to categorically state that the allegation is untrue, a falsehood, unfounded and a mischievous attempt to cast aspersions on the integrity of the Force and the robust security arrangement being implemented to ensure a secured environment for a credible election coming up on September 22, 2018 in Osun State.
Moshood stated further that Police personnel deployed for the Governorship Election in Osun State are already receiving their election duty allowance from the Force Headquarters as directed by the Inspector General of Police and not from any politician.
In addition, the Force advised members of the public are implored to disregard and discountenance the rumour in its entirety.
