The Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has condemned the viral video showing seven policemen escorting a yet-to-be-identified man walking with a cow.
A Twitter user, Yemie Fash, who shared the video on his handle and tagged Adejobi asking why the man had so many policemen escorting him.
Fash wrote, “Hello, @Princemoye1 Who is this man, why does he have so many @PoliceNG men following him?”
This is coming after the acting Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, on Monday, vowed to effect the withdrawal of Police Mobile Force personnel from VIP escort/guard duties.
In response to Fash’s tweet, Adejobi quoted the video on Thursday morning on his Twitter account, describing it as disgusting and stating that the police officers would be fished out.
Adejobi said, “This is condemned. We will fish out these men. It’s even disgusting. We have set up a committee to look into the process of withdrawing our PMF/tactical men from such services and use them for the announced Quick Intervention Squad.
“Deployment of policemen to individuals will surely be reviewed and regularised. When the committee submits its report, the Ag. IGP will act as fast as possible to implement the policy. We need more men to police than guard individual Nigerians.
“We can assure Nigerians of a better policing system in no distant time.”
