Nigerian Police Force Reacts After An Officer Was Seen Carrying A Civilians Bag

Prince Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the spokesperson for the Nigerian Police Force, has been forced to speak after a policewoman was spotted carrying a VIP’s bag at a recent political gathering for Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.

Although the VIP who owns the bag is yet to be identified, the police spokesperson claimed that he has no problem with the VIPs but rather, he would hold officers accountable for their willingness to stop so low and carry out such tasks.

Adejobi claimed that the police leadership won’t spare any “recalcitrant and disobedient personnel who desecrate its standards, norms of ethics,” noting that the VIP is a civilian with little to no knowledge of the police’s Standard Operating Procedure.

The spokesman also stated that the NPF will continue to do everything to restore glory, value and standards to itself.

He said, “I don’t always like to blame any VIP for sending his security aides “dirty” errands or misusing his sec aides, but the officers themselves who descend so low to do so. That VIP is a civilian, he knows little or nothing about the Standard Operating Procedure of the police or any agency. I always canvass for punishing the aide for his misdeeds and unprofessional conduct not to blame or condemn the VIP.

“Send me a dirty job, I reject. Ask me to carry a bag, I reject. So, the police won’t spare any recalcitrant and disobedient personnel who dent the image or desecrate the Standards, norms, and ethics of the Police. Many of our personnel who have been found wanting have been dealt with accordingly. Its departmental, and actions have been taken on several occasions.

“We will continue to do every possible to restore the glory, Standards and values of the NPF in Nigeria. The IGP has taken the bull by the horn, and it’s achievable.”
