“The image with camouflage uniform, wearing the rank of an Assistant Commissioner of Police, is one of Kingsley Udoyem
, who was arrested and paraded by Akwa-Ibom Police Command on 2nd January, 2019 for the offence of impersonating a police officer.
“Therefore, the image in circulation is not in any way connected to a Deputy Commissioner of Police in Kaduna as portrayed in the report.
“The command is using this opportunity to advise members of the public to disregard and discontinue the circulation of the unfounded image as there is no iota of truth in it,” he said.
Jalige also urged the general public particularly social media users, to be positive and avoid circulating unsubstantiated materials.

EFCC releases Ex-Imo Gov, Okorocha
Published
Okorocha was released on Thursday evening, according to Daily Trust.
The former Governor is presently at his Maitama residence in Abuja.
DAILY POST recalls that the EFCC invited Okorocha on Tuesday for questioning.
Okorocha, who governed Imo between 2011 and 2019, has been accused of embezzlement and misappropriation of state funds by the Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma.
In February, the lawmaker accused Uzodinma of unleashing the EFCC and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) against him.
Okorocha refuted the allegations, saying the state government had not been able to prove corruption allegations against him and his family in court.
