The Police Special Constabularies in Oyo, Oyo State, have been apprehended after they were seen in a widely shared video demanding money from a Dutch woman rider in the Ojongbodu area along Iseyin/Ogbomosho Road. The police authority detained the Constabularies for their dishonorable, illegal, and unprofessional actions.
The Commissioner of Police for Oyo State Command, CP Adebola Ayinde Hamzat, has initiated an immediate disciplinary procedure, according to a statement issued by police spokesperson ACP Muyiwa Adejobi.
‘’The police authority has condemned the act and ordered that the men and their supervising Divisional Police Officer be sanctioned accordingly.
Such an act is unpolice and would never be tolerated in any manner. The Force would however intensify efforts in commencing the reorientation programme initiated by the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D, NPM, for officers and men of the Force to address issues of this nature and reposition the Nigeria Police Force.” Adejobi said
