Viral Video Claiming Arrest Of Justice James Omotosho Is Fake – ICPC

The Independent Corrupt Practices, ICPC

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has said that a viral video claiming it arrested Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court of Nigeria in Abuja is false. This was recently revealed via a statement signed by Okor Odey, spokesperson for the Commission.

Stressing that the video, which has been spreading widely on social media, is completely untrue, he urged members of the public to ignore the allegation and avoid sharing information that has not been verified.

He concluded by warning that such content could cause unnecessary public concern and damage reputations.

His words, “The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has dismissed as false and malicious a video currently circulating on social media alleging that the Commission arrested the honourable, Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja.

The Commission states categorically that the claim contained in the video is entirely untrue and intended to spread mischief and mislead members of the public.

ICPC wishes to clarify that it has neither arrested nor invited Justice James Omotosho in relation to any investigation.

The Commission is also not investigating the Honourable Judge as alleged in the video.

For the avoidance of doubt the ICPC has no mandate to investigate serving judicial officers. And the Commission is an agency that has very high regards for not only the honourable Justice James Omotosho but for all judicial officers in Nigeria.”

WOW.
