The Nigeria Police Force has confirmed that it is investigating the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2 Command, AIG Moshood Jimoh, over allegations raised by social media personality, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan.
The Force said the AIG had been invited for questioning as part of an internal administrative review, while the criminal matter linked to the allegations remains before a court.
It said it has also invited Otse to substantiate his claims.
This was disclosed on Tuesday by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Ani Iniedu.
The Force stressed that it would not litigate the matter in the media or allow public campaigns to influence the judicial process.
For the past several weeks, Otse has, in a series of social media videos, accused AIG Jimoh of corruption.
He alleged that police under Jimoh’s supervision when the officer served as Commissioner of Police in Lagos framed businessman, Ahmed Tajudeen Akanbi, in connection with the killings of Sheriff Ishola/Isola Salami in April 2023 and Demola/Prince Ademola Akinloye in August 2024 in the Ajiran area of Eti-Osa, Lagos.
VDM claimed that two suspects arrested in January 2026 gave initial confessions or video statements admitting involvement in the Salami killing without naming Akanbi.
He alleged that later statements implicating Akanbi resulted from pressure or torture.
In the videos, VDM repeatedly challenged AIG Jimoh to produce original suspect statements, stating that if proven wrong, he should face the full weight of the law.
He continued releasing follow-up content in subsequent weeks, reiterating the accusations and calling for independent review of the evidence.
