It further advised Nigerians to confirm updates only through the official channels of the Nigeria Police Force.
The statement read: “FAKE NEWS ALERT! This “WANTED” poster of actress Iyabo Ojo did not emanate from the Nigeria Police Force. It is false, misleading & was never posted on any official NPF platform. Disregard & stop spreading fake news. Verify only from official NPF channels.”
