The Nigeria Police Force has pledged to investigate the alleged involvement of one of its officers in ballot snatching during the governorship election held on Saturday at the Amakohia Ikeduru Collation Centre in Imo State.
The Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Muyiwa Adejobi, made this known in a statement shared on his X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday night while reacting to a viral video of an officer being manhandled by some youths who accused him of ballot snatching at the Amakohia Ikeduru collation center during the November 11 governorship election.
Sharing the viral video, Adejobi said, “The Nigeria Police Force is aware of the allegation regarding this supposed police officer purportedly involved in ballot snatching at the Amakohia Ikeduru Collation Centre in Imo State.
“We do not take this issue lightly as it bothers on the integrity of the force and the capability of its members to maintain election integrity.
“We, therefore, assure the public that a thorough investigation will be conducted, and we will update you ASAP. It requires a thorough investigation. Thanks”
