A Formal Denial of Grave Allegations

The spokesperson for the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters Annex in Lagos, CSP Nkeiruka Nwode, has taken the unusual step of publicly addressing persistent rumors regarding her alleged involvement in criminal activities. In a statement released on Monday, Nwode characterized the claims made by Sahara Reporters publisher Omoyele Sowore as entirely fabricated and lacking in factual merit. While the spokesperson noted her general preference for avoiding online speculation, she stated that the repeated association of her name with an alleged police-linked organ-harvesting ring necessitated a direct institutional and personal response.

Institutional Precedent and the 2023 Investigation

Central to Nwode’s defense is a prior comprehensive probe conducted by the Nigeria Police Force in 2023. According to official records, the NPF scrutinized the allegations during that period and concluded that there was no confirmed evidence of organ harvesting or any specific misconduct linking Nwode to the purported criminal network. The spokesperson emphasized that the results of this investigation remain documented within the force’s permanent archives, serving as a verified exoneration of her professional conduct during that timeframe.

The Role of Media Reporting in Professional Vindication

Nwode highlighted what she described as an inconsistency in the reporting of the activist’s media platform. She pointed out that Sahara Reporters had previously acknowledged the existence of the report that cleared her of the accusations. According to her statement, she first encountered the documented proof of her exoneration through a report published by the same platform on February 24, 2026. This detail was used to bolster her argument that the current attempts to revive the allegations ignore established facts already recognized by the accuser's own media outlet.
