The Nigerian Police Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO) Olumuyiwa Adejobi has reacted to a trending video of a young Nigerian man who was filmed spraying money with the help of a police escort.
In the now-viral video, the policeman (yet-to be identified) is seen helping the young man open the door of his car for him, after which helps him hold his money for him.
The video sparked a flurry of social media reactions with netizens wondering how a young man could have a police officer at his disposal in such a manner.
Reacting to the video on Thursday, Adejobi via his X handle condemned the video saying, an investigation has been launched into the case.
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,’’ he added
