𝐋𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐔𝐧𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 The Lagos State Police Command has detained a police officer for failing to maintain professionalism during a confrontation with a citizen, according to a statement released by the state Police spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, on Friday. According to the statement, although the... officer showed restraint most of the time, he allowed his emotions to cloud his judgment on a couple of occasions. He added that the officer has been taken into custody for appropriate disciplinary actions. According to report the incident involved Aderele Aisha, who drove against traffic and allegedly assaulted the officer, behaving in a disorderly and unruly manner. He wrote, "As much as the police officer exercised restraint, he allowed his emotions get the better part of him once or twice. A police officer is expected to exercise utmost restraint in the face of provocation. This definitely is a teaching moment for officers and men of the Force. The officer has been taken in for appropriate actions. "That being said, Aderele Aisha, who drove against traffic, clearly assaulted the officer and behaved in a disorderly and unruly manner. She has since profusely apologized for her actions and tendered a written apology. "While we continue to train our men to be as professional as possible, while not sparing any officer who clearly acts unprofessionally, we urge the citizenry to strive to maintain decorum in their dealings with security agencies." --- Follow us for more breaking news and videosshow more

Too bad

Pls what wrong did the officer commit here. She drove against traffic and assaulted an officer. She was bold because she knows nothing will happen and nothing actually happened. This officer should not be punished

I don't understand oo: someone drove against the traffic (an Offense), was cautioned/apprehended by a police Officer, and the officer is being accused of unprofessionalism? His actual offense was not mentioned (being emotional is not an Offense in Nigeria). Una don start oo!

They addressed this issue because she a Nigerian citizen and a Yoruba person let's assume she is an IGBO woman she would have been dealt with, not because of she is a Nigerian but she has the DNA of an IGBO FG thought Nigeria is progressing while suppressing the IGBOS 🤔

Honestly the lady either has someone at the top or her father is a strong politician period!

She was pushing harassing the police officer like she should also face the consequences

Exactly what I said yesterday, the police officer to be disciplined for wanted to look at her phone and the woman arrested for assaulting an officer. No matter how angry you are never pinch an officer not to talk of push. 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

It's important to consider both perspectives before making a decision. I suggest that @PoliceNG provides additional training to the officer involved and issues a warning. As for the lady who drove against traffic, she should be fined N200k reduced to N100k if paid within 14 days.

Aisha too should not have gone Scot free. She should also be charged for traffic offences. Her apology is not enough. Her actions will encourage others who violate traffic laws to face law enforcement officers knowing that if they know someone at the top they will go free.

It's a woman's world! If na man, nobody would come to dialogue.
