Drunk Lagos policeman arrested

A policeman who was caught on camera in Lagos State in a drunken state has been arrested.

The policeman was exposed by The Punch newspaper and Sahara Reporters on Friday.

Following the revelation, the state Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, ordered for him to be fished out.

He was subsequently found.

A statement on Saturday by the spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, Patricia Amadin, confirmed the arrest of the policeman.

Amadin said Owoseni has ordered full blown investigation into the incident.

She added in the statement: “In line with the stand of the current Force leadership on discipline, the Commissioner of Police has repeatedly warned Police officers of the Command to desist from engaging in acts of indiscipline and going contrary to the ethics and professional standards of the Force which are capable of dragging the name of the Force and the Command to disrepute.

“While thanking the public for its continued support in exposing erring officers, he enjoined them to continue to do so to help the Command to improve on its service delivery.”
