The Nigeria Police Force has confirmed that its operatives, on Saturday, served official Invitation Letters on Bisola and Timi Dakolo.
The invitation is sequel to an on-going police investigation touching on the wider and highly publicized case involving Bisola Dakolo, Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo and others.
The two separate letters sent to the couple read on parts “This office is investigating a case of Criminal Conspiracy, Falsehood Mischief and Threat to life that your name was mentioned.
“You are kindly requested to interview the undersigned officer on 23/07/2019 by 1000hrs for fact findings through DSP. Ibrahim Agu with telephone number 0803786191.
Acknowledge receipt. Accept my warmest regards please,” it added.
A statement by the Force Police Public Relations Officer, DCP Frank Mba on Saturday however states that a Police Invitation Letter is not synonymous with a Warrant of Arrest, and must not be construed to be one.
According to the statement, the invitation is rather a polite investigative tool used in eliciting information voluntarily from parties to aid police investigations.
He urged members of the public to the Invitation as a legitimate act in line with the constitutional mandate of the police, which among other things include the investigation of all complaints brought before it.
The statement reads “The Inspector General of Police, IGP MA Adamu NPM, mni has appealed for calm, and is reassuring Nigerians that the Police Force under his watch will remain professional, impartial and unreservedly committed to the pursuit of justice in this case and all other cases before it. ”
