The Spokesman of the Nigerian Police Force, ACP Jimoh Moshood, has issued a statement to deny a comment credited to the inspector-general of police, Ibrahim Idris, wherein he said the last Dapchi Girl will be released by Sunday.
Denying the statement, the ACP Moshood said the police boss was misquoted.
Read the full statement:
The attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to the publication on some Social Media platform and conventional media indicating that the Inspector General of Police said the last Dapchi school girl will be released soon.
The Statement of the IGP was misunderstood and misquoted. The misunderstanding may be as a result of the already released Dapchi School girls expected back home in Yobe State today but could not arrive due to weather condition. The Inspector General of Police could not also proceed to Dapchi because of same weather condition.
The Force wishes the members of the public and the media disregard the purported statement as not what the IGP meant.
The Force therefore reiterates that it has no information yet on the release of the last Dapchi school girl.
This release should be taken as the true position of the IGP’s statement.
The media are hereby enjoined to correct their records and publication, please.
