The Ekiti State Police Command has denied being part of an Operation Flush Unit captured in a viral video allegedly breaking into an apartment in the state.
The command also denied operating any unit known by that name.
The rebuttal comes after a video circulated on the social media showing some armed security personnel breaking into an apartment somewhere still unknown in Ado-Ekiti.
It was alleged in the post that Operation Flush Unit, which is a Joint Task Force of some security agencies, was responsible for the act.
“The Ekiti State Police Command wishes to inform the general public that the Police is not part of the Operation Flush Unit as being alleged by a section of the public.
“The Police does not operate any unit called Operation Flush,” command spokesman, SP Sunday Abutu disclosed in a Saturday statement.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Joseph Eribo ordered a thorough investigation into the incident with the view to unraveling the facts and ensuring justice.
He said the command frowned at the incident, and implored anyone with additional and useful information, particularly the victims, to come forward to assist the police in the investigation process.
“The command will continue to support the rule of law, respect the rights of citizens and ensure maximum security for the lives and property of the good people of Ekiti State,” the statement further reads.
