Weed-smoking NPF officer
Lagos police identify weed-smoking officer, commence ‘appropriate disciplinary measures’
Lagos State Police Command says it has identified the police officer pictured smoking weed at the Ijora area of Lagos.
A video of the police officer smoking cannabis while in a meeting with other officers went viral, Tuesday, as Nigerians mocked the Nigeria police for the recalcitrant personnel.
State Police Command spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin SP, in a statement, Tuesday, said the officer in question has now been identified as an assistant superintendent (ASP) in the force.
“He is ASP Babatunde Adebayo serving at Shogunle Divison of the Command.
“Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Abiodun Alabi, fdc, mnim, psc has directed the immediate commencement of appropriate disciplinary measures commensurate with his rank,” said Hundeyin.
According to the Lagos police spokesperson, the commissioner ‘has equally warned officers and men of the Command to stay clear of all unprofessional and unethical conducts as any officer found guilty of these acts will be severely sanctioned.’
