“The Nigeria Police Force wishes to clarify that the recent Wanted Person Bulletin circulating stating that Nollywood Actress, Iyabo Ojo, is wanted by the Office of the IGP Monitoring Unit is NOT an official communication from the Force,” the statement read.

The NPF urged Nigerians to be cautious of misleading content, stressing that official police information is only shared through verified platforms.
