The Nigerian Police Force has denied that 167 police officers deployed to Northeast to help in the fight against Boko Haram absconded.

There have been reports that 157 absconded from deployment to Northeast to fight Boko Haram.

A statement issued by Acting Force Public Relations Officer, Jimoh Moshood said all 2,000 policemen deployed by the Force to the Northeast had reported and were on ground on combat operation in the Northeast fighting along with the Military in the front line against Boko Haram insurgency.

“The 2,000 police personnel deployed are in high morale and high spirit in the operation. No Police personnel absconded as alleged in the report,” he said.

According to Moshood, “the Force wishes to categorically state that the story is untrue, absolute falsehood and a deliberate attempt to cast aspersions on the efforts of the Nigeria Police Force in the ongoing fight against the Boko Haram insurgency.

“The insinuation in some quarters and as reported in the story that 167 out the 2000 additional Police Officers recently deployed by the IGP absconded is not correct and should be disregarded by members of the public. These 2000 Police personnel are to complement the efforts of the Military to add new impetus to the fight against the decimated Boko Haram insurgency.

“This story was investigated and it was found out not to be correct, there is no reason whatsoever that Police personnel deployed for the operations in the North East would abscond. The Police Mobile Force (PMF) personnel have been engaged actively in the front line along with the Military in the fight against Boko Haram terrorist group since the inception of the insurgency,” he said.

Moshood stated that these 2,000 police officers recently deployed were in addition to several thousands of police personnel already engaged in the fight against insurgency with the Military in the Northeast, adding that the list of 167 names attached to the story was fake as the officers mentioned were on ground in the Northeast.

“The 2000 police personnel deployed are in high morale and high spirit in the operation, the Force sees the story as a deliberate attempt to promote insurgency and dapple the morale of Officers and Men of the Police and other services who on daily basis lay down their lives to protect our dear Nation, Nigeria and ensure security of all citizenry.

“Members of the public are hereby implored to disregard the story in its entirety as a pure misinformation and hearsay.

“It is evidently clear that the writer of the story has never visited the venue of training or witness the deployment of the Police personnel in the operation but rely ignorantly on hearsay from misguided individuals who are being used to work against national interest and security,’ he added.

Moshood said the Nigeria Police Force would continue to hold the media in a very high regard as a veritable partner in ensuring adequate security and success of the fight against insurgency, but noted, however, that the media were implored not allow their esteemed publication be used to publish falsehood capable of misinforming and misleading the public.

Yep Christians & Southerners are sent to fight Boko Haram.

Fulani are sent to murder IPOB, Shite Muslims & Peaceful protesters.

This is a smart way of making sure that southerners are removed.

Let Fulani fight Boko Haram as they are best suited to understand Islam.

Ok

Housa Police Force

Fake rebuttal.
The leaked internal memo clearly shows that some policemen absconded.

Oven fresh lies from the pit if hell.
Aaaaaaah Nigerian police

The Nigerian police are now only good in replying people on the media

No they didn't abscond, they simply ran away.

ordinarily, i would have let this pass me by
but i just cant. first and foremost, are there no soldiers again
in the Barracks? why will any one with his right senses deploy
policemen to assist the military in fighting boko haram. what training do NP have?
This is an insult.
boko haram are not just mallams, these bunch of demons are well trained
to handle sophisticated weapons which our NP cannot handle. this is not like collecting
20/50 naira bribes. if indeed the run, lez not blame them, can a wall gecko face a Cat?
