“The policeman captured in the recent viral video shared by the sons of Lagos businessman Chief Okoya, where they were abusing the naira, has been identified and detained for disciplinary action,” the NPF stated.

The police condemned the officer’s conduct as unethical and contrary to the force’s values, emphasizing its commitment to professionalism and integrity.

In response to the public outrage, Subomi took to his X account to express his regret, stating:

“To the Nigerian people, my actions were not intended to cause any trouble or harm. My intentions were pure and naive.

“I ask for your forgiveness and support as I had no intention of raising such an alarm. I wasn’t fully aware of the consequences of my action.
