The Nigeria Police Force Saturday denied the allegation by Mr Nyesom Wike, the Governor of Rivers State, South- South Nigeria, that the force is planning to plant incriminating evidence at his Abuja home.
It will be recalled that the Rivers State Governor had earlier on Saturday accused the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, of being after his life and directing police personnel to plant firearms, cash and other incriminating exhibits in his Abuja home.
But Jimoh Moshood, the Force Public Relations Officer has denied Wike’s allegation.
Moshood in an interview with newsmen said the police never plants incriminating materials in the house of people and denied of any plan by the police to raid the Abuja home of Governor Wike.
Moshood, however, said the Police would always act within its constitutional mandate of protecting lives and properties including the prevention of crime.
