CLARIFICATION ON VIRAL FAKE DOCUMENT REGARDING WITHDRAWAL OF POLICE OFFICERS FROM VIP DUTIES The Nigeria Police Force wishes to address a purported document circulating widely on social media and other platforms, claiming to originate from 50 Police Mobile Force (PMF) Squadron, Abuja, directing all police officers attached to certain individuals to report back to base immediately.
