PRESS RELEASE
RE: 167 POLICE OFFICERS ABSCOND FROM
DEPLOYMENT AGAINST BOKO HARAM (FULL LIST)
All 2000 Policemen deployed by the Force to
the North East have reported and are on ground on combat operation in the North
East fighting along with the Military in the front line against Boko Haram
insurgency.
The 2000 Police personnel deployed are in high morale and high spirit in the operation. No Police personnel absconded as alleged in the report.
The 2000 Police personnel deployed are in high morale and high spirit in the operation. No Police personnel absconded as alleged in the report.
The attention of the Nigeria Police Force has
been drawn to a story by Premium Times Online media, captioned “167 POLICE
OFFICERS ABSCOND FROM DEPLOYMENT AGAINST BOKO HARAM (FULL LIST)”.
2. The Force wishes to categorically state
that the story is untrue, absolute falsehood and a deliberate attempt to cast
aspersions on the efforts of the Nigeria Police Force in the ongoing fight
against the Boko Haram insurgency.
3. The insinuation in some quarters and as
reported in the story that 167 out the 2000 additional Police Officers recently
deployed by the IGP absconded is not correct and should be disregarded by
members of the public. These 2000 Police personnel are to complement the
efforts of the Military to add new impetus to the fight against the decimated
Boko Haram insurgency.
4. This story was investigated and it was
found out not to be correct, there is no reason whatsoever that Police
personnel deployed for the operations in the North East would abscond. The
Police Mobile Force (PMF) personnel have been engaged actively in the front
line along with the Military in the fight against Boko Haram terrorist group
since the inception of the insurgency.
5. These 2000 Police Officers recently
deployed are in addition to several thousands of Police Personnel already
engaged in the fight against insurgency with the Military in the North East.
The list of 167 names attached to the story is fake as the Officers mentioned
are on ground in the North East.
6. The 2000 police personnel deployed are in
high morale and high spirit in the operation, the Force sees the story as a
deliberate attempt to promote insurgency and dapple the morale of Officers and
Men of the Police and other services who on daily basis lay down their lives to
protect our dear Nation, Nigeria and ensure security of all citizenry.
7. Members of the public are hereby implored
to disregard the story in its entirety as a pure misinformation and hearsay.
8. It is evidently clear that the writer of
the story has never visited the venue of training or witness the deployment of
the Police personnel in the operation but rely ignorantly on hearsay from
misguided individuals who are being used to work against national interest and
security.
The Nigeria Police Force will continue to
hold the media in a very high regard as a veritable partner in ensuring
adequate security and success of the fight against insurgency, however, the
media are implored not allow their esteemed publication be used publish
falsehood capable of misinforming and misleading the public.

The force, few minutes ago, has informed the
public that all the officers deployed for this operation have reported at their
assigned duty posts. The force official twitted uncovers this,
“All 2000 Policemen deployed by the Force to
the North East have reported and are on ground on combat operation in the North
East fighting along with the Military in the front line against Boko Haram
insurgency.”
