Police speak on Inspector’s alleged insult of Buhari, Osinbajo, IGP

The Yobe State Police Command has disowned the unprofessional and indiscipline conduct of Inspector Sunday U. Japhet over a derogatory Facebook post he titled: ‘Nigeria with a President who wants to Fight to Corruption and Tackle Insecurity’.

A statement released and made available to KHORGIST by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Abdulmalik Abdulhadeez stated that the write up was meant to deceive and misinform the public.

“The write-up is apparently intended as to deceive or misinform the general public including members of the Nigeria Police Force especially the visiting Police Mobile Force Units in Special Duty in the North East.

“It is evidently clear that the said Inspector (Sunday U. Japhet) wanted to incite the visiting units to mutiny against a constitutional authority”, ASP Abdulhafeez said.

The Command via the PPRO described part of Japhet’s post as baseless lies that the police high command deposited the allowance of the personnel in some secret accounts to share the acquired interest.

“It is on record that, the Federal Government is operating Treasury Single Account (TSA) that made it impossible to divert any fund.

“Furthermore, all payments are directly paid into the Private Bank Account of all personnel from the office of the Accountant General of the Federation”, Abdulhafeez explained.

The Command’s spokesman added that the Inspector General of Police has been working assiduously to ensure the timely payment of allowances of personnel nationwide.

Inspector Japhet is a mobile force from 8 Squadron, Jos, and he was on special duty serving in Dapchi, Bursari local government area of Yobe state.

KHORGIST had reported that Yobe State Police Command had arrested Inspector Sunday U. Japhet for allegedly posting disrespectful comments against President Buhari, Vice President Osinbajo and Inspector General of Police Adamu via his Facebook page.
