EDO2024: IGP orders arrest and investigation of officer caught on tape making unauthorized political comments about Edo governorship election


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfJExLHYv3o

The Nigeria Police Force says it is aware of a recent video evidencing political comment by an individual dressed in a Spy Police uniform regarding the Edo State gubernatorial elections, which has been circulating on social media platforms. In a statement released, the spokesperson of the police force, A Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the NPF strongly condemns this act and clarifies that the individual is not a regular officer of the Nigeria Police Force, but a Supernumerary (Spy) Police Officer employed by a private company.

‘’Supernumerary Police Officers are private individuals trained by the Nigeria Police for specific security functions, primarily within their place of employment. They are not on the payroll of the NPF and do not swear to the oath of allegiance like sworn regular police officers, thus they have the right to belong to any political party of their choice and freedom of expression. In this extant case, the Police frowns at the wearing of his official SPY uniform and engaging in political activities.

The individual involved has been arrested for further investigations. We reiterate that his political comments do not reflect the views of the Nigeria Police, and the public is urged to disregard any such statements and trust in our continued commitment to professionalism, neutrality, and the rule of law.’’ Adejobi said

The Edo governorship election holds on September 21.

Political police...

Since his not a full member of the force, then he should be free to Express his political allegiance.
Most likely , his attached to a political personality,hence he has to play to his masters tune.
I think , they should have a totally different uniform , so as to differentiate them from the regular Police.
Just getting to know that they are private guards.

Were Remi Tinubu, MC Oluomo, Bayo Onanuga, Femi Fani-Kayode, Kayode Ogundisi and other ethno-religio-regional bigots and supremacists in Police spy uniforms when they made inflammatory statements during elections? Always serving selective justice

Not an official police officer ..he is a spy police and not on Nigeria Police payroll

So unprofessional of him

Just imagine

Lol, they are mai guards oo, the annoying part is they always want to show off themselves like regular police officer

It’s getting much clearer that igp policemen under Egbetokun aren’t ready to allow free and fair election in Edo state come next week Saturday election 🗳, the Edo state electorates will resist the clueless biased policemen that have been staged to rigged the next week Saturday governorship election 🗳 in Edo state to Apc. Rigging will be resisted on every side. I only pity the arranged policemen that has been prepared to caused violence and rigging in the election 🗳, they will be thoroughly dealt with by the Edo youths in the poll. Edo no be Lagos is the slogan and it will be perfected in next week Saturday election 🗳

But the Police man no lie at all. He spoke the mind of Edo People. That's exactly what we the Edo electorates are cooking for Obaseki and his godson Asue.

We go use our votes to disgrace them for this election.

No reasonable human being will ever vote APC in any election, APC is evil

ARREST, INVESTIGATION AND PROSECUTION OF SUCH MILITARY OFFICERS IS NECESSARY.

@Avidleo, please take note.

Even IGP giving this order is also political to APC and Tinubu, so I see no difference here.

His tenure was illegally extend just because of his loyalty to APC and Tinubu

Make he chow watery beans small!

The problem with you Obidient Biafrans is that you cry when they are chasing you, you also cry when you are chasing others.
Maybe they need to translate it into Igbo before it can enter your head.

You are against them arresting the man but you don't even know that he's ing APC.

I don't see anything wrong with what he said.
