Police Debunks Viral ‘Wanted’ Poster of Nollywood Star Iyabo Ojo
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has dismissed a viral social media “wanted” notice targeting Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, describing it as fake and misleading.
The notice, which claimed that the actress was wanted by the Office of the Inspector General of Police Monitoring Unit, was widely circulated online earlier this week. But in a statement posted on its official Facebook page, the NPF clarified that it never issued such a notice.
“FAKE NEWS ALERT! This ‘WANTED’ poster of actress Iyabo Ojo did not emanate from the Nigeria Police Force. It is false, misleading & was never posted on any official NPF platform. Disregard & stop spreading fake news,” the statement read.
The Force further cautioned Nigerians to verify news only from official police channels to avoid falling victim to misinformation.
“Verify only from official NPF channels,” it stressed.
The clarification comes amid growing concerns over the spread of false information on social media, especially involving high-profile figures. See post
