Sus­pend­ed In­spec­tor Roger Alexan­der is rub­bish­ing claims on so­cial me­dia that he has been ar­rest­ed and de­tained un­der the An­ti-Gang Act.

Alexan­der who spoke to Guardian Me­dia via What­sapp said: "I just want to tell peo­ple leave me alone, but they must get their facts right first be­fore post­ing for likes on the so­cial net­work."

With­in the last 24 hours, re­ports about sur­faced about Alexan­der be­ing ar­rest­ed, in­clud­ing a post on Face­book by a po­lice of­fi­cer. How­ev­er, Alexan­der has dis­missed these claims and point­ed out that he is al­ready on sus­pen­sion pend­ing the out­come of a court mat­ter.

He said even though he's on sus­pen­sion he still sup­ports the fight against crime and he pass­es on any in­for­ma­tion he gets to po­lice be­cause peo­ple still trust him and comes to him for help.

Alexan­der ap­pealed to peo­ple on so­cial me­dia not to post er­ro­neous in­for­ma­tion.
