Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer, stated on Thursday that the Force management would review the deployment of operatives to prominent individuals in the country.
Adejobi stated this in a statement on his Twitter account.
He was responding to a viral video of seven armed Mobile Police officers escorting an unidentified VIP.
He called the situation “disgusting” and promised to bring the cops in for appropriate punishment.
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.
We can assure Nigerians of a better policing system in no distant time.
