Odutola further explained that the State Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alamutu, strongly condemned the “unprofessional conduct” of the three individuals.

To address this misconduct, the command has initiated the appropriate disciplinary actions against the officers to ensure they are held accountable for their actions and to serve as a warning to others who might be tempted to engage in similar behavior.

According to the statement, Commissioner Abiodun emphasized his commitment to upholding professional standards within the force to maintain high-quality service delivery to citizens and sustain public trust and confidence in the Nigeria Police Force.
