The claim, which has been championed by Lisa Kpadowa Mba, went viral on social media platforms, gaining significant attention among Nigerians and prompting the police to launch an active investigation.
In a press release dated May 19 and signed by ASP Henry Okoye, the state's Police Public Relations Officer, the paramilitary security outfit branded the claims as "malicious" and "misleading."
The statement read in part:
"After conducting a thorough investigation into the allegations, the Command unequivocally wishes to inform the general public, particularly the residents of Imo state that the purported allegations contained in the viral publication are entirely false, malicious and misleading."
The statement established that the reports were targeted to tarnish the subject's name, which violates the state's Criminal Act.
"The spurious publication was targeted at criminally tarnishing the image and reputation of the Pastor as well as that of his ministry and this act, which has been previously championed by one Lisa Kpadowa Mba in 2018, is in serious contravention of sections 373 and 375 of the Criminal Code Act and section 24(1) of the Cybercrime (Prohibition) Act of 2015.
Police begin manhunt
The Police further announced that an intense manhunt had been launched to nab the purveyor of the information.
The statement mentioned one "Anonymous Groups" on Facebook as the platform where the news originated from.
The Police urged the public to always verify all information on social media before believing or sharing, as many ill-minded individuals have been taking advantage of the space to perpetrate heinous acts.
"Consequently, an intense manhunt has been initiated to fish out the originators and purveyors of the propaganda and make them face the full wrath of the law.
