According to Blinkscoop, the Nigeria Police Force has witnessed the proliferation or circulation of alleged/fake election results on social media and other news platforms, which is contrary to the Independent National Election Commission’s policy and rules.
Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the NPF’s spokesperson, revealed in a statement on Sunday.
“The police has interpreted this tendency as a planned attempt to heat up the polity and maybe generate post-election instability,” Adejobi said.
We see this as a disservice, unpatriotism, and misinformation.
The NPF hereby warns individuals who are disseminating these alleged/fake election results to stop their evil deeds and patiently await INEC’s official results, which are authentic and tenable.
“The NPF advises Nigerians to be calm and carry on with their lawful activities, while those scheduled to vote today are urged to be orderly and law-abiding as we have re-enforced our security tactics for the successful conclusion of the 2023 general elections.”
