The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, has reacted to a viral picture of a police officer allegedly caught smoking weed in public in Ijora area of Lagos State, ordering probe into the incident.
The picture was taken by a concerned citizen and went viral after being reposted by popular blogger, Instablog, on Instagram.
In his reaction, the acting Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Muyiwa Adejobi, condemned the act, saying the IGP would take necessary disciplinary action as Lagos State Police Command had been contacted to produce the officer.
“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,” Adejobi said.
