The Integrity Youth Alliance has strongly condemned a recent Facebook publication by Prof. Sandra C. Duru, describing it as a malicious attempt to tarnish the reputation of Commissioner of Police, Akin Fakorede.
In a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Kelvin Adegbenga, the group dismissed claims that CP Fakorede is “a criminal in police uniform,” insisting that the officer is a man of proven integrity, a barrister at law, and a professional whose career has been defined by honour and dedication to justice.
The Alliance stressed that CP Fakorede has never engaged in intimidation tactics, abuse of office, obstruction of justice, or any form of misconduct as alleged.
“His track record in the Nigeria Police Force remains untainted and speaks of a man deeply committed to upholding the rule of law,” the statement read.
It further described Prof. Duru’s call for the suspension and investigation of CP Fakorede as baseless and an attempt at blackmail. The group urged her to desist from character assassination and acts of intimidation against dedicated police officers.
“The Integrity Youth Alliance stands firmly with CP Akin Fakorede, a police officer of repute and a barrister who has served Nigeria honourably,” the statement concluded.
