The Nigeria Police Force has warned its personnel against unprofessional conduct, saying they will bear the consequences of their action, IgbereTV reports
Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi said the police leadership does not do anything with impunity, adding that operatives will pay dearly for any offence committed.
“We don’t do anything with impunity,” the Force spokesman said during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
“If you commit an offence as a policeman, you pay dearly for it. Nobody will tolerate that and the Police Act is very clear about it. The Constitution and Penal Laws are very clear about this.”
Adejobi’s warning comes on the heels of the murder of a Lagos-based lawyer, Mrs Bolanle Raheem, who was shot dead on Christmas Day in the Ajah area of the state. Her killing has sparked outrage from many Nigerians.
The situation has forced President Muhammadu Buhari, the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, and Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to condemn the incident and call for a thorough probe
