The Nigeria Police Force said that the trending video, which showed a drunken police officer being mocked by some children, is a video and that appropriate punishment had been meted out to the mopol officer back then.
The Force Spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the policeman had been appropriately sanctioned for the unprofessional and unethical conduct displayed in the video.
He added: “Recall that the video trended in the year 2020, and the Force took diligent steps to ensure the Inspector was disciplined in line with extant laws regulating the Force, which led to his demobilisation from the Police Mobile Force and other disciplinary sanctions as contained in letter CH:5660/DOPS/PMF/FHQ/ABJ/VOL.78/116 of 11th December 2020. It is appalling to find the same video trending for clout without recourse to existing facts. The Police, while charging officers to maintain proper, professional, and ethical conduct in and out of the uniform, calls on all and sundry to discountenance the video and its content as it serves no genuine purpose.”
