The spokesperson for the Nigeria Police Force, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has clarified that officers captured in a viral video picking money at Benin airport will not be dismissed from service. This statement comes after concerns were raised by Nigerians regarding the officers’ actions in the video, where they were seen picking money thrown into the air by singer Shallopopi.
Adejobi, addressing the issue on Friday, reassured the public that the officers involved would not be dismissed. Instead, they may receive a lecture emphasizing the importance of refraining from such actions. He clarified that the offense is considered less severe, and the focus would be on educating the officers rather than imposing dismissal.
