Police Vow to investigate 7 Officers Escorting Man With Cow in Viral Video

The Nigerian Police Force has vowed to fish out seven officers seen escorting a yet-to-be-identified man with cow in a viral video.

TRACKNEWS observed that tweeps have been reacting to tweet by, Yemie Fash, who shared the video and questioned why the man had so many policemen with him.

The Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, condemned the act describing it as ‘disgusting’ and stating that the police officers would be fished out.

“Hello, #Princemoye1 Who is this man, why does he have so many #PoliceNG men following him?” Fash queried.

In a swift response, 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.”

This is coming after the acting Inspector General of Police, Olukayode Egbetokun, vowed to effect the withdrawal of Police Mobile Force personnel from VIP escort/guard duties.
