While denouncing the incident, CSP Muyiwa Adejobi, the acting Force Public Relations Officer, said the IGP would take necessary disciplinary measures against the wayward cop.

He stated that the Lagos State Police Command had been notified in order to locate the officer and bring him to justice.

According to him, 

"The police have commenced necessary action on this ugly scene. We have contacted the Lagos command to fish him out, name and shame him, and necessary disciplinary measures will be taken from the office of the IGP with immediate effect.

"This is condemned in its totality. It’s quite unfortunate that we can see an officer of the police, in uniform, degenerate to this level. We just kick against this to serve as a deterrent to others."
