Delta Police Spokesperson Deletes Tweet Stating Forgery Is A Crime Amid Tinubu’s Certificate Saga (Photo)

The Public Relations Officer of the Delta State Police Command, Bright Edafe, has deleted a tweet stating forgery is a crime.

This comes after a UK-based medical doctor, Olufunmilayo, via X, formerly known as Twitter, gave an analogy of a forged document of a car and posed a pertinent question to the Police Force in the wake of President Bola Tinubu’s certificate forgery scandal.

Recall that Caleb Westberg, the Registrar of the Chicago State University (CSU) stirred reactions online during his deposition on Tuesday after he denied the authenticity of the certificate Tinubu presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) prior to the 2023 general election.

The development stirred outrage, with many accusing Tinubu of alleged identity theft and forgery of his credentials.

Doctor Olufunmilayo’s post reads: “If I used to live in Abuja and bought a Mercedes SUV at the Mercedes dealership in Abuja, then I moved to Port Harcourt some weeks later then found out I have lost the car receipt and I don’t know anymore where all the original car papers are.

“If I now go to Oshodi under-bridge and tell a vendor to sharply forge some Mercedes documents for me to replace the ones I lost (at least I’m the one that bought the car), and I make sure I tell the vendor to cook the documents to my taste.

“If one day I run into police at a checkpoint and they suspect my car documents are dubious and not the original one issued by the Mercedes car seller.

“Do the police have any right to interrogate me or arrest me for any crime?

“If the @PoliceNG now calls the Mercedes dealership in Abuja to verify the document I have presented to the police, but the Mercedes dealership disowns the document and says they did not issue it, does the police have any right to still, question me further?”

In response to the question, the Delta Police PRO quickly jumped on existing laws and punishment for forgery without knowing the question indirectly had to do with the CSU saga.

After finding out, he quickly deleted the post.
