The police in Enugu have urged the public to ignore a misleading and malicious audio and image on social media of the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Kanayo Uzuegbu purportedly sharing “new communication rules for WhatsApp chats and calls.”
The command said it has commenced investigation to identify and prosecute those responsible for creating and circulating the fake audio.
This is contained in a statement issued by the Command’s Spokesman, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, on Friday in Enugu.
“The public is advised to disregard the audio, as it does not represent any official communication from the command.
”The police have started an investigation and manhunt to identify social media influencers using the misleading audio.
“It is essential to note that WhatsApp, owned by Meta, is a reputable international organisation that would not use such third-party sources to announce changes to its services,’ he said.
The spokesman said that the commissioner had ordered a thorough intelligence-led investigation to identify and prosecute those responsible for creating and circulating the audio
The CP has expressed concern over the misuse of his image in spreading this false information,” he said. (NAN)
