The officer of the Nigeria Police Force who was seen in a video where the naira was abused has been identified and detained.
A video clip that captured the officer alongside billionaire businessman, Chief Okoya, recently went viral.
In the video, the officer was sighted giving aide to the businessman while the currency was being abused.
NPF in a terse statement on its official Facebook page on Friday said the officer has been taken into custody for subsequent disciplinary action.
The post reads, “The policeman captured in the recent viral video shared by the sons of the Lagos businessman, Chief Okoya, where they were abusing the naira, has been identified and detained for disciplinary action.
“The involvement of the policeman has been condemned, as it’s unethical.
“We will always strive hard to uphold the sanctity, credibility, and core values of the police”.
Meanwhile, it is unclear if the primary suspect has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
