The Police Special Constabularies who were caught in a viral video demanding money from a Dutch woman rider at Ojongbodu area along Iseyin/Ogbomosho Road in Oyo, Oyo State have been appended.
Periscope Nigeria reports that the Constabularies were arrested by the police authority for their unprofessional, unacceptable, and punishable acts.
According to a press statement signed by the Force Public Relations Officer Muyiwa Adejobi, the Commissioner of Police, Oyo State Command, CP Adebola Ayinde Hamzat, has instituted a disciplinary procedure on the matter immediately.
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.
