“The officers were detailed to execute a warrant of arrest on him for a series of allegations of criminal acts levelled against him.

” The Nigeria Police Force will take all necessary steps to investigate his actions and ensure that he is prosecuted for any criminal activity he may have committed depending on the severity of the offence,” he said.

The Police image maker pointed out that the force would not condone any unruly act, assault or attack on its officers, who are on lawful duty.

Adejobi said that members of the public must respect law enforcement agents, who perpetually take the risk of maintaining law and order as well as fighting crime and criminality in our society.
