By The People’s Voice Nigeria News
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has cleared the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2, AIG Moshood Jimoh, of allegations made against him over the Ajiran murder case, stating that the matter is already before a competent court and should be resolved through the judicial process.
In a statement issued on Monday, August 4, 2026, by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Ani Iniedu, the Police explained that the criminal case associated with AIG Jimoh had been thoroughly investigated and subsequently charged to court following legal advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
The statement was issued in response to allegations recently made on social media by activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, concerning the senior police officer.
According to the Force, the case is now sub judice and therefore subject to judicial determination. It emphasized that it would not engage in media discussions or commentary capable of prejudicing the ongoing court proceedings.
The Police further disclosed that, in line with its internal accountability procedures, the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) invited AIG Moshood Jimoh for questioning over the allegations. Following a review of the available evidence and circumstances, the Force concluded that there was no basis for further administrative action and directed that the matter should continue through the court process.
The statement also revealed that the Force Criminal Investigation Department, Abuja, invited Martins Vincent Otse (VeryDarkMan) on July 30, 2026, to appear before investigators and present evidence in support of the allegations he made publicly.
Reaffirming its commitment to the rule of law, the Nigeria Police Force stated that all officers remain accountable under the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Police Act 2020, and Force Orders, stressing that no officer is above the law.
The Force urged VeryDarkMan to honour the invitation extended to him and allow both the judicial and administrative processes to proceed without interference.
