Lagos Police command announce N1m reward for anyone that can identify masked lady in viral video

The Lagos state police command has announced the reward of N1 million for anyone that can unravel the identity of the masked lady in a viral video.

A lady wearing a mask shared a video online last week in which she accused a police officer, Inspector Christopher Marcel Nabugwu, of living above his means. She alleged that the officer who a music enthusiast, owns a property worth over two hundred and fifty million  (N250million) at No. 27  Remi Fani-Kayode Street GRA, Ikeja, uses exotic cars with customised vehicle  licence plate titled  "MCON" and worth over N2billion in cash and assets.

The police command has since carried out investigation into the lady's claims and discovered they were all false. The command tracked the accounts owned by the said officer via his BVN and discovered he had barely N50, 000 and that he lives in a room and parlor apartment which contradicts the lady's claims.

The command in a statement released by its spokesperson, CSP Chike Oti, said a reward of N1 million awaits anyone that can unravel the identity of the mystery lady. Read the statement from the command below

These allegations caught the attention of the Inspector General of Police who ordered an investigation into the allegation the source not withstanding. 

Investigation into the matter was painstakingly carried out. At the end of the probe, it was clear that the allegations were not only false and misleading but a calculated attempt to malign the good name of a hardworking police officer and  embarrass the police authorities.
