The Cross River State Police Command has noted a viral video circulating on X (formerly Twitter) alleging unlawful entry and indiscriminate arrests at White House Lodge,Calabar.
The Command states unequivocally that the officers featured in the video are operatives of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Crack Unit, who were engaged in a targeted, intelligence-driven operation. The action was executed pursuant to a duly endorsed petition from the National Cybercrime Centre, Abuja, concerning serious allegations of computer-related fraud, money laundering, and advance fee fraud.
The operation was intelligence-driven and not random.
However, the Commissioner of Police has ordered an immediate review of the incident to ensure full compliance with due process. Any officer found to have acted outside the law will be dealt with accordingly.
The public is urged to remain calm and avoid spreading unverified information.
The Command remains committed to lawful, professional, and accountable policing.
