The Nigeria Police Force Headquarters, Abuja, has vowed to discipline the armed police officers caught in a viral video escorting the Adamawa State University Students’ Union Government president.
Some Nigerians on X (formerly Twitter) lambasted the Nigeria Police Force after a video of the armed police officers escorting the young man identified as the newly elected President of the Adamawa State University Students’ Union Government, surfaced on the internet.
The video posted on X by The Nation showed the arrival of the said students’ union leader at a convention with two armed policemen walking beside his car while other students hailed and cheered him, while a student also opened the door for the SUG president after the car came to a halt.
Reacting to the video of the police officers, the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Wednesday said that the policemen had been identified and had been ordered to report at the Force Headquarters for further actions.
The force spokesperson who made this known on X (formerly Twitter), vowed that there is no room for indecency, complacency and unethical conducts in the Nigeria Police Force.
He wrote, “These policemen have been identified. They are to report to the FHQ for further actions. There is no room for indecency, complacency, and unethical conducts.”
The Nigerian Police Force posted the photos of the officers involved on Monday 18th September 2023, They said They have both been referred to the Force Provost for further disciplinary actions.
Kudos to the Nigerian Police Force on this.
Following a recent incident involving two Constables escorting a Student Union president in Adamawa State, their actions were unacceptable and do not represent the values of our Force. The officers, who are attached to Jimeta Divisional Police Command, along with their superiors, have been summoned to the Force Headquarters for appropriate action. It's important to note that they were deployed to maintain peace and security during the convention and electoral process organized by the National Union of Adamawa State Students (NUADSS) on 4th and 5th of September, 2023. However their actions were not in line with the purpose for which they were deployed. They have both been referred to the Force Provost for further disciplinary actions. We are committed to maintaining professionalism and upholding the dignity of the Nigeria Police Force.
UNPROFESSIONAL CONDUCT:
