disciplinary action, sparking widespread reactions from the public.

In a statement released by ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force condemned the officer’s involvement, emphasizing that it is contrary to the core values of the police.

However, many citizens have raised questions about the decision, particularly questioning why the sons of Chief Okoya have not been held accountable for their actions captured in the video.

@SamuelI10540458 commented, “Why detain the Police when you could have easily picked Chief Okoya’s sons? This is all shades of wrong.”

@Slanddi added, “Are you disciplining him for being attached to the abuser or for standing there to watch someone abuse the naira? So how about arresting the very person who abused the naira?”

The growing consensus among social media users is that there appears to be a double standard in how such issues are handled, with criticism directed at the lack of action against the real culprits.

@gwaniforlife noted, “Nigeria often demonstrates a double standard when it comes to punishing offenders. During the December celebrations, Wizkid was seen abusing our currency on multiple occasions, yet no interrogation or arrest was made. But here we are.”

@Mazimum_ questioned, “The policeman gets detained, but what happens to the real culprit? Is naira abuse only a problem when a policeman is involved, or do we ignore the root cause and just play politics with discipline?”

These reactions reflect a growing concern over the apparent selective enforcement of the law and the need for a more balanced approach in dealing with such incidents.
