Reacting to the video, a spokesperson of the police, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the force has given an immediate order to fish out the officers involved.
He said, ‘’I have asked the Kwara comm to fish them out and bring them to Abuja. In most cases, we need to take charge of some peculiar cases like this, more so that the men involved are recalcitrant. I have spotted at least 2 offences in this video, and they need to explain to us. Thanks.”
