Rivers Police Probe Unverified TikTok Video
The Rivers State Police Command, upon receiving a TikTok video posted on the X platform (formerly known as Twitter) by the user @UchePOkoye, has taken swift action to establish contact with the individual in the video known as “Kay Persona.”
In a statement issued, the command stated that despite their continuous efforts since September 8, 2023, to maintain confidentiality and offer assistance, the complainant had not come forward to officially register any grievances regarding the video’s content.
The command then warned against any attempts to blackmail or spread false information about the police through social media.
The statement read in part, “Any attempts to blackmail the Command through social media or spreading false information will not be tolerated. It is essential to note that police officers who have been found wanting in their relationship with members of the public have been dealt with, and we remain committed to addressing such issues. Anyone with concrete information as to the whereabouts of ‘Kay Persona,’ should, please contact the Command, as he has not responded to our invitations.
“In the light of this absence of official contact from the affected party, the command hereby believes the content of the video to be unsubstantiated and therefore false. We urge the public to discountenance its claims while reiterating that all complainants about Police actions or inaction may be reported via the following contact numbers: 09014273818 and 08161355218.”
