The NPF has arrested the individual for further investigations.

The NPF also clarified the status of supernumerary police officers, stating that they are “private individuals trained by the Nigeria Police for specific security functions, primarily within their place of employment. They are not on the payroll of the NPF and do not swear to the oath of allegiance like sworn regular police officers, thus they have the right to belong to any political party of their choice and freedom of expression.”
