Police authorities have ordered a probe to unravel the identity of an officer captured in a viral video smoking weed in a public place around Ijora area of Lagos State.
This was disclosed by the acting Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Muyiwa Adejobi, who condemned his action, saying the Inspector General of Police would take necessary disciplinary measure against the errant policeman.
The viral clip, which has generated heat on social media platforms, was reposted by Instablog on Instagram.
It was captioned, “Nigerian police officer at Ijora Lagos smoking weed on duty.”
Adejobi said the the Lagos State Police Command had been directed to fish out the officer for appropriate sanction.
He said, “The police have commenced necessary action on this ugly scene. We have contacted the Lagos command to fish him out, name and shame him, and necessary disciplinary measures will be taken from the office of the IGP with immediate effect.
“This is condemned in its totality. It’s quite unfortunate that we can see an officer of the police, in uniform, degenerate to this level. We just kick against this to serve as a deterrent to others.”
