Police Escorts Risk Sanctions for Misconduct in Actress Angela Okorie’s Viral Street Jogging Video

Published

on





Policemen spotted in a viral video escorting a Nollywood actress, Angela Okorie, while she jogged on the street, are likely to face sanctions.

This is coming as the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has ‘strongly’ frowned at the conduct of the armed police officers seen in the viral video.

The NPF said the conduct of the policemen was ‘clearly inconsistent with the professional standards and decorum expected of personnel of the Force’.

Security sources however revealed that the policemen were security escorts attached to her.

However, a statement signed by the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Wednesday evening, said the incident, which appears to have occurred on or around a movie set, has also sparked widespread public concern and criticism.

“While it remains unclear whether the scene was part of a scripted production, the conduct of the officers seen in the video falls short of the standards expected of members of the Nigeria Police Force.

“Accordingly, necessary administrative processes have been initiated to identify the officers involved and determine the circumstances surrounding the video, while appropriate disciplinary action will be taken based on the outcome of the review.

“The Force remains committed to upholding professionalism, discipline, and public trust,” the NPF spokesman Adejobi stated.
