Nigeria Police Force on Friday, dismissed allegations of forgery, alteration, falsification, and unlawful production of a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate levelled against the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, describing the claims as baseless.

Speaking on the matter, the Force Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, said the police found no evidence to support the allegations after conducting a thorough investigation.

According to him, the investigation established that there was no proof of forgery, alteration, falsification, or unlawful production of the minister’s NYSC certificate.

“After an exhaustive investigation into the allegations, it has been established that there is no evidence whatsoever of forgery, alteration, falsification or unlawful production of the minister’s NYSC certificate,” Hundeyin said.

He explained that the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) was contacted during the investigation and confirmed that the certificate in question was duly issued to the minister.

“The NYSC was contacted and it was verified that the certificate was duly issued by the corps to the minister. The allegations are therefore unfounded,” he added.

The development comes a day after youth and civil society groups staged a protest in Abuja over the alleged certificate forgery involving the minister.

The demonstrators accused Tunji-Ojo of providing conflicting information regarding his NYSC records, which they said raised concerns about integrity in public office.

Addressing journalists during the protest, one of the demonstrators said the minister had yet to publicly respond to the allegations.

“We have not heard from him. He has not come out to clarify to the public whether what is being said is right or wrong,” the protester said.

The protesters also argued that in similar circumstances, some public officials had resigned from office when faced with such allegations, insisting that accountability should apply equally to all public office holders.

“We want accountability, and we want everyone to be treated equally. What is good for one person should be good for all. If other ministers could resign over similar issues, we do not see why he should still remain in office,” the protester added.

They warned that failure to properly address such allegations could erode public trust in government institutions, particularly among young Nigerians, and undermine the credibility of public offices at the federal level.

All the plans to nail and blackmail the Minister didn't work out. Finally he has been cleared

This is really needed, the misinformation that boy from Ondo has spread is too much. How can any right thinking person say the minister’s certificate was forged, without proof? That’s wild!

Can we rest now ? I give the propaganda another 3 months to come and talk again about fake certificate again

This is a good development. I believe this will end the false news spread by the haters.

WEAcE cleared
Police cleared
Allegations cleared.
This case has made it cleared to me that people do not truly value good work especially when it is outside there camp

Truth always prevails. It is commendable that the Nigeria Police Force has cleared Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo of the alleged certificate forgery. This should put an end to unnecessary distractions and allow him to continue focusing on reforms in the Ministry of Interior.

For clarity and public record:
Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo’s certificate has been verified as authentic.
The NYSC officially confirmed this, with clarification reported by Premium Times, now the it the police. That should should the propaganda people a brack.

This is a commendable development. I believe it will finally silence the false narratives spread by critics.

The truth will always come out , this attacking him can now rest.

Indeed, truth does not change with time. The clearance of Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo only reaffirms that facts will always outlive false narratives. Leadership focused on service will always stand the test of scrutiny.

Eriomoloye just allowed himself to be used by political haters. He will serve a lesson to others. Political scapegoat.

Now that the truth has prevailed, can we allow the minister to continue with his work, without distractions? Everybody can rest now

This ends every irresponsible post about Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo on certificate forgery.
I commend WAEC and the Nigeria police force for their investigation and outcome.

The Nigerian Police has cleared the minister of interior, please this is good so the ninister can continue on his impactful reforms.

Truth will always prevail over a lie... Dr. Tunji-Ojo is credible minister with integrity 100%

When you have truth it always stand for ypu

Baseless allegations may trend for a moment, but integrity and service always stand the test of time. Dr. Tunji-Ojo has remained focused on reforms that are transforming the Ministry of Interior and strengthening national institutions.

All station settled

Before nko? We've always known Hon. Tunji-Ojo is above and beyond the stupid shenanigans of Emioroloye and his gang of unscrupulous data boys.

Although I am not surprised , because the handwriting was there boldly, it is obvious that they just want to look for something to nail the minister , so I knew this from the start

With earlier releases from concerned parties and now this by the NPF, this matter should be laid to rest...

Absolutely! It’s a great day for Dr. Tunji-Ojo. Smooth sailing for the Minister, wouldn't you agree?

This country is a huge joke

Police and not court?
It's ok.

One cleared. One indicated. One country.

Police like how? Naija na komedi oooo.
