He noted that the report is not only false and misleading but a deliberate attempt to tarnish his good name and dent his impressive records.

Refuting the allegations in a statement on Sunday, the retired senior officer said, “The attention of DIG Ari Mohammed Ali (rtd) has been drawn to a false and misleading publication credited to Sahara Reporters stating that the respected retired senior police officer was discharged from the force over allegations of age falsification and violation of service rules. This statement is not only false and misleading but a deliberate attempt to tarnish the good name and dent the impressive records that DIG Ari Mohammed Ali (rtd) has built throughout his career as a distinguished police officer.”

The retired DIG, according to the statement, served in various capacities in the Nigeria Police Force excellently and would not want to be drawn into such malicious and mischievous publications.
“However, to avoid any doubt and to prevent the public and his supporters from being misled, it is essential to set the record straight. DIG Ari Mohammed Ali (rtd) was enlisted into the Nigeria Police Force on 3rd March 1990 as a member of Course 16 Cadet ASP. He trained at the Elite Police Academy in Kaduna State. DIG Ari Mohammed Ali (rtd) served in various capacities in the Police Force, during which he won numerous awards due to his dedication and leadership style. He served in the Delta State Command, Bayelsa State Command, Lagos State Command, Rivers State Command, Kano State Command, and also served at the Police Staff College Jos.

“DIG Ari Mohammed Ali (rtd) served as the Deputy Commissioner of Police Operations in Lagos State for three years, during which he won the Security Watch Africa Award of Excellence as the Best Operations Officer in African security in 2018. DIG Ari Mohammed Ali (rtd) served in the Delta State Command as the 20th Commissioner of Police from 2021 to 2023, during which Delta State became one of the safest states in Nigeria. He was promoted to the rank of Assistant Inspector General of Police in 2023 and posted to Zone 2, Lagos State as the AIG Zone 2. He was later deployed to Force Headquarters as the AIG Community Policing in January 2024, where he served diligently until his posting to Kano State as the AIG Zone 1 Kano, where he served the good people of Kano State as he has always done during his policing career. He was promoted to the rank of Deputy Inspector General of Police on 24th November 2024 and posted as the Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of the Operations Department, Police Force Headquarters, Abuja.

“It is pertinent to reiterate that DIG Ari Mohammed Ali (rtd), a PhD holder from an Irish University, Pembroke Square, United Kingdom, was enlisted on 3rd March 1990 and retired meritoriously on 1st March 2025 when he attained the mandatory retirement age of 60 years and served for 35 years without blemish,” the statement said.

He urged the media to always verify their news before publication, stating that “The respected senior officer will leave no stone unturned should there be any further attempt to dent the reputation he has built over the years.”
