The Nigerian Police, Lagos Command has arrested a police officer for manhandling an elderly woman in Alagbado area of the state.
According to a statement, by the Command’s Spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, an investigation into circumstances that led to the altercation captured in viral video has also begun.
It would be recalled that a video circulating on social media showed an officer inside an elderly woman’s car manhandling her in the first week of September.
Hundeyin noted that the police inspector and his supervising deputy superintendent of Police have been brought in for questioning while the Complaint Response Unit has established contact with the woman in the video.
“The command condemns the unprofessional conduct of the Inspector as it does not represent the ethics and operational standards of the Nigeria Police Force.
“The command equally assures Lagosians that the investigation will be swift, thorough and conclusive.
“We will ensure that the officers are disciplined as appropriate and members of the public are updated accordingly,” the image maker said.
