Nigeria Police Vows to Prosecute Officers for A+saulting a Motorist Wearing a Camera Eyewear During a Stop and Search Routine
We strongly condemn the actions of some officers captured in a viral video attempting to forcibly remove a pair of glasses from a motorist during a stop-and-search operation, and further assaulting him. The officers involved have been identified as personnel attached to the Lagos State Police Command.
The Commissioner of Police in charge of the Lagos State Command has been contacted and has swiftly acted appropriately to ensure that the officers face commensurate disciplinary actions. He has equally ordered for the restructuring of the squad involved.
The Nigeria Police Force assures the public that this isolated incident does not represent the standards of professionalism expected of police personnel. The Force leadership stands on its commitment to identifying and sanctioning the very few errant officers whose actions embarrass dedicated, hardworking and responsible personnel of the Force.
