The Lagos State Police Command says Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP Khan Salihu, was never kidnapped before his death.
In a statement on Monday, the Command debunked reports alleging that the late officer was abducted by suspected criminals prior to his demise, describing the reports as “false, misleading and a complete fabrication”.
According to the statement, DCP Salihu complained of feeling unwell before his death and was rushed to hospital for urgent medical attention. Doctors confirmed him dead on arrival. The Command said at no time was he abducted or involved in any criminal incident.
The Command urged members of the public to disregard the publication and rely only on information from its official channels. It also called on the media organisation that published the report to withdraw it and issue a correction and apology.
DCP Khan Salihu served the Nigeria Police Force with distinction until his death, the Command added.
