The Nigerian police Force on Thursday, announced that investigation has begun into viral video showing a young man being escorted by a police officer.
The video captured the moment when the police escort opened the car door for the ‘big’ boy.
As he arrived at the event, he was seen spraying wads of Naira notes, in company of his friends.
Reacting, Police spokesperson Olumuyiwa Adejobi, described the scene as embarrassing and disgusting while promising to fish out the officer involved.
He wrote:
“This was a case study at the IGPs conference today in abuja. This has been condemned, and investigation has been instituted in the case. Senior officers have been ordered to take action against such in their AoRs and screen those who are to have police escorts and guards.
“Even the guy he was escorting doesn’t deserve to have a police escort. It’s embarrassing to the force and disgusting. Perhaps the police was on an illegal duty. We will fish him out and many alike”.
