Nigeria Police Officers Nigeria Police Force has summoned three of its officers attached to Jimeta Divisional Police Command, Adamawa State to the Force Headquarters, Abuja for unprofessional conduct.
The video clip of the officers' inaction went viral online calling the attention of the Force Headquarters to summon the officers involved and their superiors at the command.

"Following a recent incident involving two Constables escorting a Student Union president in Adamawa State, their actions were unacceptable and do not represent the values of our Force. The officers, who are attached to Jimeta Divisional Police Command, along with their superiors, have been summoned to the Force Headquarters for appropriate action.
"It's important to note that they were deployed to maintain peace and security during the convention and electoral process organized by the National Union of Adamawa State Students (NUADSS) on the 4th and 5th of September, 2023. However, their actions were not in line with the purpose for which they were deployed. They have both been referred to the Force Provost for further disciplinary actions. We are committed to maintaining professionalism and upholding the dignity of the Nigeria Police Force.
