Police Commissioner Debunks Alleged Ties To Wike Ahead of Edo Election.

The Commissioner of Police in Edo State, Nemi Iwo, has categorically denied allegations that his deployment to the state was influenced by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

In a statement released by the command’s Public Relations Officer, Moses Yamu, Iwo described the claims as “baseless” and “mischievous,” emphasizing that his deployment was a routine administrative procedure within the Police Force.

Iwo asserted that he has no personal or professional ties with Wike, and that his deployment was not influenced by external factors. He also highlighted that the Police are committed to neutrality and professionalism in the upcoming governorship election.

The Commissioner further noted that the innovations adopted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) prevent the Police from interfering with election outcomes.

Iwo reassured the public of the command’s commitment to fairness and professionalism, urging citizens to disregard the “unfounded story” and have confidence in the Police’s ability to ensure a peaceful and credible election.
