The Police Command in Lagos State has dismissed reports claiming late Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP Khan Salihu, was kidnapped before his death.

The command described the report as false, misleading and fabricated, urging the public to disregard the claim.

Police spokesperson, SP Abimbola Adebisi, made the clarification in a statement issued on Tuesday in Lagos.

She said Salihu only complained briefly of feeling unwell before being rushed to hospital for urgent medical attention.

According to her, doctors later confirmed the senior officer dead after efforts to save his life.
