The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has detained an officer seen in a viral video allegedly abusing the naira alongside the sons of billionaire businessman Razaq Okoya in Lagos.

The police officer was seen in the viral video holding wads of naira notes as musician Subomi Okoya and his brother, Wahab, gyrated to a song.

Speaking on the incident, the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the policeman in the video had been identified and detained.

“The involvement of the policeman has been condemned, as it’s unethical.

“We will always strive hard to uphold the sanctity, credibility, and core values of the police. Thanks.”
