Former Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase has said reports that 19 cars were recovered from him was false.

In a statement by Arase on Monday, the former IG insisted he did not take any vehicles with him when he left the service.

Arase said he would take legal actions against “those desperate to tarnish his image”.

He said, “It is embarrassing for me to wake up on Monday morning to be inundated with calls and messages on purported 19 vehicles recovered from me. I wish to reassure the general public that there was nothing like that,” the former IG said.

“Rather than dissipating so much energy on ‘project drag Arase down’, I urge those behind this evil campaign to face their official responsibility for which much is expected from them by the nation. I have done my bit and my own records bear me witness. Let those daily frightened by the shadow of Arase learn to face reality and stop chasing shadows so that they are not hunted by same.”
