The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has identified and detained a police officer involved in a viral video recently shared by the sons of Lagos businessman, Chief Okoya.
The video showed the officer participating in an incident where the naira was being abused.
The police condemned the officer’s actions, noting that such behavior is entirely unethical and goes against the core values of the force.
In a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter, the Police Force reiterated its commitment to upholding the sanctity, credibility, and core values of law enforcement, ensuring that officers who engage in misconduct are held accountable.
“The policeman captured in the recent viral video shared by the sons of the lagos businessman, Chief Okoya, where they were abusing the naira, has been identified and detained for disciplinary action.
“The involvement of the policeman has been condemned, as it’s unethical. We will always strive hard to uphold the sanctity, credibility, and core values of the police. Thanks,” the post reads.
