IGP Drags Senior Police Officers to Court for Age Falsification

The Inspector General of Police has taken five senior officers to court over alleged age falsification. The officers, including retired Assistant Police Idowu Owohunwa and retired Commissioner Benneth Igwe, are facing charges related to forgery and misconduct.

The court documents reveal discrepancies in the officers' declared birth dates compared to official records. The accused officers, however, claim the case is politically motivated.

The charges against them are punishable under specific penal code sections. The case highlights the issue of integrity and compliance within the police force.
