Anambra State Police Command has denied declaring nine persons wanted for involvement in various crimes, contrary to media reports flying around the social media.
In his reaction, the State Police Public Relations Officer of the Command, DSP Ikenga Tochukwu said it was the handiwork of some mischief makers.
He said that the Police authority said police have processes of declaring persons wanted, which include receiving report from a complainer for alleged crime by a suspect, conducting investigations and making efforts to arrest the suspect, which, when proven abortive, would then lead to securing a court order to declare the persons wanted, and which the Command also has its own format of declaring and punishing.
He pointed out that the pictures shared on social media is not their format of declaring people wanted, calling it an act of mischief while reiterating that Police did not declare anybody wanted.
