The Nigeria Police Force has put two of its officers who escorted pop star Davido, for reckless shooting in Lagos behind bars.
Davido and his crew shared a video on Snapchat of their Police escorts shooting while their cars were moving on the streets of Lagos.
“On August 1, 2017, PCRRU was notified about a video in circulation on social media in which some men alleged to be policemen were seen shooting in the air on the street in a moving vehicle,” Shogunle said.
He explained that ”the two policemen were attached to the 20 Police Mobile Force Squadron, and were attached to a private security company, Infinity Security Company.”
“Along the way as seen in the video which has been confirmed by investigation, the two policemen involved started shooting into the air for no just cause. They have been identified and they have been in detention since then because the investigation was conducted and after that, they have been tried in orderly room and punishment has been recommended.
“We are only waiting for the appropriate police authority to review the punishment then we will make the full details known to the public. One thing is clear that the conduct of those policemen as seen in that video is unacceptable, that is not part of what our officers should be engaged in. They are no longer involved in any duty where they will carry any weapon. They will be in detention until the process is over before they will be released.
“The investigation has shown that they have no justifiable reason to have expended or fire their weapons into the air,” he said.
