By EZEKIEL OBI, Abuja –
The Nigeria Police Force has arrested the two Special Constabularies, who were caught in a viral video demanding money from a Dutch woman rider in the Ojongbodu area along Iseyin/Ogbomosho Road in Oyo.
The Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, disclosed this in a statement issued on Friday in Abuja.
He said the erring officers were arrested for their ”unprofessional, unacceptable, and punishable acts.”
Adejobi also disclosed that ”the Commissioner of Police, Oyo State Command, CP Adebola Ayinde Hamzat, has instituted a disciplinary procedure on the matter immediately.”
”The police authority has condemned the act and ordered that the men and their supervising Divisional Police Officer be sanctioned accordingly.”
He described the act as unpolice-like and would never be tolerated in any manner.
He assured that the Force would, however, intensify efforts in commencing the reorientation programme as initiated by the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, for officers and men of the Force to address issues of this nature and reposition the Nigeria Police.
