The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has dismissed a viral poster alleging that Nollywood actress and entrepreneur, Iyabo Ojo, was declared wanted with a reward attached for her arrest.
In a statement issued Thursday via its official social media platforms, the Force described the poster as “fake and misleading,” stressing that it did not originate from the police.
“The Nigeria Police Force wishes to clarify that the recent Wanted Person Bulletin circulating about stating that the Nollywood Actress, Iyabo Ojo, is wanted by the Office of the IGP Monitoring Unit is NOT an official communication from the Force,” the statement read.
The NPF urged Nigerians to verify information only through its official channels and remain cautious of misinformation.
The viral poster emerged amid ongoing controversy sparked by claims from social media personality Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, who alleged that Ojo and some others attempted to frame singer and record label boss, Naira Marley, over the death of his former signee, Ilerioluwa Aloba, better known as Mohbad.
