Former Cp Aderemi Adeoye
of Anambra State Police Command
In response to recent media reports, former Anambra CP Adeoye has vehemently disclaimed claims of being a billionaire worth 20 billion naira. Adeoye, however, confirmed his involvement in the Alpha Trust Investment Club (ATICL) firm, which is valued at over 20 billion naira. The former police officer has labeled the narrative as a false and mischievous attempt by press men to tarnish his hard-earned reputation. Adeoye asserts that he is not a billionaire and has never acquired wealth through fraudulent means or misappropriation of public funds.
Rumors had been circulating in various media outlets, suggesting that Adeoye had amassed great wealth during his time as the Anambra CP. The reports alleged that he had engaged in corrupt practices and fraudulently accumulated a fortune of 20 billion naira. However, Adeoye has firmly denied these claims, emphasizing that his involvement in ATICL does not translate to personal ownership of the stated amount.
The former CP has also expressed disappointment in the media’s eagerness to spread false information without verifying facts or seeking clarifications. He emphasizes that as a public figure, it is crucial for journalists to uphold their professional ethics and ensure accurate reporting.
Adeoye has built a reputation as a dedicated police officer throughout his career and has vowed to defend his integrity vigorously. He urges the public not to be swayed by baseless allegations or rumors and assures them that he will pursue legal actions against those responsible for spreading false information.
In light of Adeoye’s denial, the media is urged to exercise caution and accuracy in reporting such delicate matters. It is essential to uphold the principles of fairness and responsible journalism to avoid damaging the reputation of individuals unjustly.
