The Nigeria Police Force has taken firm action after a video circulated on social media showing a police officer in a camouflage uniform behaving in a way that is grossly inconsistent with the Force’s standards.

Upon becoming aware of the footage, the Ekiti State Police Command immediately identified him as a Sergeant attached to the Ikole-Ekiti Divisional Police Headquarters. He has since been taken into custody to face disciplinary action.

The Commissioner of Police, Ekiti State Command, CP Falade Adegoroye Michael, has directed a comprehensive psychological and medical evaluation of the officer. This assessment is a mandatory prerequisite to the formal disciplinary process, ensuring that the Force addresses both the conduct violation and any underlying health concerns thoroughly and responsibly.

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu psc(+), NPM, unequivocally condemns the conduct displayed in the video as a gross deviation from the discipline, professionalism, and decorum required of every member of the Nigeria Police Force.
