The Nigeria Police have cleared and exonerated Mr Ndiana Udom (male), who was declared ‘wanted’ and investigated for fraud.

The police, however, added that the investigation remains active, and their efforts to bring the main suspect, Peace Ekom Robert, who is still at large, to justice, have been intensified.

The Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday, 15 August 2023, informed the public of the ongoing investigation regarding the recent declaration of the duo of Ndiana Abasi Idongesit Udom ‘m’ and Peace Ekom Robert ‘f’ wanted on July 22nd, 2023, in the media and through our official social media platforms.

The statement read: “Ndiana Udom has since come forward and cooperated with the police investigators. After thorough questioning and investigation, Mr Ndiana Udom has been cleared and exonerated in the said matter under investigation.

“The police appreciate his cooperation and commend his commitment in this regard and look forward to further cooperation if required in the course of the said investigations.

“In that wise, it is pertinent to state that the investigation remains active, and our efforts to bring the main suspect, Peace Ekom Robert, who is still at large, to justice, have been intensified.”

According to the police, anyone with information regarding her whereabouts should come forward and assist them in the matter.

The FPRO noted that the Nigeria Police is committed to embracing modern and rule-of-law-compliant means of investigating cases so as to have fairness and maintain justice in all ramifications.

We, therefore, wish to appreciate the support and cooperation of the public as we work together to maintain peace, unity, and progress, and uphold the rule of law in Nigeria.
