NPF Condemns Unauthorized Political Comments By Supernumerary Officer

The Nigeria Police Force, NPF, has condemned and dissociated itself from unauthorized political comments made by a supernumerary police officer regarding the upcoming Edo State gubernatorial elections.
According to a press release by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, “The NPF strongly condemns this act and clarifies that the individual is not a regular officer of the Nigeria Police Force, but a Supernumerary (Spy) Police Officer employed by a private company.”
The police officer in question was seen in a video circulating on social media platforms, making political comments while dressed in a Spy Police uniform.
The NPF has arrested the individual for further investigations.
“The individual involved has been arrested for further investigations. We reiterate that his political comments do not reflect the views of the Nigeria Police, and the public is urged to disregard any such statements and trust in our continued commitment to professionalism, neutrality, and the rule of law,” the press release stated.
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.”
However, the police frown at the wearing of official uniforms during political activities, emphasizing that it is against their code of conduct.
