The Police Force Public Relations Officer, Prince Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has said that the deployment of policemen to individuals will be “reviewed and regularised”.
This was contained in a statement on Wednesday via his Twitter account while reacting to a viral video of an unidentified VIP seen being escorted on foot by no fewer than 7 armed Mobile Policemen.
The Police PRO’s statement was in response to a Twitter account with the name Oluyemi Fasipe, who posted the video requesting to know who the man in the video was and why he had so many policemen securing him.

In his response, Adejobi condemned the act which he described as “Disgusting”. He also promised to fish out the Policemen in the video and bring them to book.
The statement read: “This is condemned. We will fish out these men. It’s even disgusting. We have set up a committee to look into the process of withdrawing our PMF/tactical men from such services and use them for the announced Quick Intervention Squad.
“Deployment of policemen to individuals will surely be reviewed and regularised. When the committee submits its report, the Ag. IGP will act as fast as possible to implement the policy. We need more men to police than guard individual Nigerians.
“We can assure Nigerians of a better policing system in no distant time.”
