The Nigerian Police Force (NPF) has arrested an officer identified as Isaac Matthew who was seen flaunting the sign of a secret confraternity in a video that went viral on the internet.
The detention of the officer attached to the Ebonyi state command was made known through a statement approved by the Nigeria police force spokesman identified as Olumuyiwa Adejobi that reads;
“The act of the officer in question, which is clearly calculated to portray the NPF negatively, is a discreditable conduct in line with the provisions of the First Schedule to Regulation 370 of the Police Regulations.
“His actions equally violated the provisions of the NPF Social Media Policy (SMP), penal laws, and other extant laws regulating the conduct and discipline of all Police officers.
“The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, psc(+), NPM, fdc, has directed the Commissioner of Police in charge of Ebonyi State to detail the Command’s OC Provost to hand over the erring officer to the Force Provost Marshall for necessary disciplinary actions.”
