The Integrity Youth Alliance has dismissed as false and misleading a social media post credited to the Take It Back Movement, which questioned the decision of the Federal High Court, Abuja, and described the charges against serial AAC Presidential Candidate, Omoyele Sowore, as “another baseless attack by Police under an illegal IGP Egbetokun.”
In a statement signed by its spokesperson, Danjuma Lamido, the Alliance clarified that the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, was constitutionally appointed in line with the Nigeria Police Act 2020 (as amended) and the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“The claim that IGP Egbetokun is ‘illegal’ is a deliberate falsehood aimed at undermining the credibility of Nigeria’s foremost law enforcement institution,” the group stated.
The Alliance further stressed that only the Federal High Court has the authority to adjudicate on the forgery case against Mr. Sowore, warning that the Take It Back Movement has no power to declare the case “fake” or to preempt judicial processes.
On Sowore’s claims that Police prosecutors were “flustered and floored” in court, the group dismissed the remarks as “another baseless fabrication,” insisting that the Nigeria Police Force prosecution team remains professional and committed to upholding justice.
The Integrity Youth Alliance urged Nigerians to disregard what it described as malicious propaganda by individuals and groups with vested political interests.
It reaffirmed confidence in the judiciary to dispense justice fairly and in the Police under IGP Egbetokun to discharge its constitutional duties without fear or favour.
