The Nigeria Police Force has arrested a Spy Policeman, dressed in the rank of Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), caught on viral video engaging in partisan politics and calling on the people of Edo State to deal with Governor Godwin Obasaki, while wearing Police Spy uniform.

In a statement condemning the act of the self-acclaimed officer, the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi totally condemned and dissociated the police “from unauthorised political comments by supernumerary police officer.”

He further revealed that the Inspector-general of Police has ordered his arrest and thorough investigations into the remote and actual reasons for the unidentified man’s actions.

According to him, “The Nigeria Police Force has been made aware of a recent video evidencing political comment by an individual dressed in a Spy Police uniform regarding the upcoming Edo State gubernatorial elections, which has been circulating on social media platforms.

“The NPF strongly condemns this act and clarifies that the individual is not a regular officer of the Nigeria Police Force, but a Supernumerary (Spy) Police Officer employed by a private company.

“Supernumerary Police Officers are private individuals trained by the Nigeria Police for specific security functions, primarily within their place of employment. They are not on the payroll of the police and do not swear to the oath of allegiance like sworn regular police officers, thus they have the right to belong to any political party of their choice and freedom of expression. In this extant case, the Police frowns at the wearing of his official SPY uniform and engaging in political activities.”

He said that the policeman involved has been arrested for further investigations, while reiterating that his political comments do not reflect the views of the Nigeria Police.

Adejobi then urged the public to disregard any such statements “and trust in our continued commitment to professionalism, neutrality, and the rule of law.”

Recall that the new Police Spy uniform was just launched about two weeks ago at the Force headquarters, Abuja.
