The Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has responded to a viral video depicting a police officer acting as a personal attendant to a young man at an event, opening car doors and carrying money for him while he sprayed cash. Adejobi described the officer's actions as "embarrassing" and "disgusting" to the police force.
Adejobi shared his reaction to the video on X.com, highlighting that the incident was discussed as a case study at the Inspector General of Police's (IGP) conference in Abuja. He confirmed that the behavior has been condemned and an investigation has been launched.
"This was a case study at the IGP’s conference today in Abuja. This has been condemned, and an investigation has been instituted into the case. Senior officers have been ordered to take action against such in their Areas of Responsibility (AoRs) and screen those who are to have police escorts and guards," Adejobi stated.

He further criticized the young man involved, suggesting that he did not deserve police escort services and hinting that the officer might have been on an unauthorized duty. Adejobi assured that the police force would identify the officer and others engaged in similar activities, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the integrity and professionalism of the police.
"Even the guy he was escorting doesn’t deserve to have a police escort. It’s embarrassing to the force and disgusting. Perhaps the policeman was on an illegal duty. We will fish him out and many alike," Adejobi concluded.
