The Nigerian Police Force have paraded armed Police officers seen in a viral social media video acting as Police escorts to the Adamawa Student Union President in Adamawa state.
The Nigerian Police in a statement released on Monday 18th September 2023, describing the event as unprofessional misconduct, stated that “following the recent incident involving two Constables escorting an Adamawa Student Union president in Adamawa State, their actions were unacceptable and do not represent the values of our Force,” the Police stated.
According to the statement by the Police, the officers, who are attached to Jimeta Divisional Police Command, along with their superiors, caught in the tape acting as armed escort to the Adamawa Student Union president, have been summoned to the Force Headquarters for appropriate action.
“It’s important to note that they were deployed to maintain peace and security during the convention and electoral process organized by the National Union of Adamawa State Students (NUADSS) on 4th and 5th of September, 2023. However, their actions were not in line with the purpose for which they were deployed. They have both been referred to the Force Provost for further disciplinary actions. We are committed to maintaining professionalism and upholding the dignity of the Nigeria Police Force,” the statement by the Police added.
