The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has initiated an investigation into a viral video showing armed officers escorting Nollywood actress Angela Okorie while she jogged, an action deemed “inconsistent with the professional standards and decorum expected” of its personnel. The video, which sparked widespread attention on social media, has prompted the NPF to vow disciplinary action against the officers involved, pending the outcome of their review.
According to a statement from NPF spokesperson Olumuyiwa Adejobi, posted on the Force’s official X handle, the conduct of the officers is under scrutiny to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident. “Necessary administrative processes have been initiated to identify the officers involved and appropriate disciplinary action will be taken based on the outcome of the review,” the statement read.
Reports suggest the video may be linked to a behind-the-scenes shoot for Queen of Guns, a project Okorie promoted on her Instagram page approximately eight weeks ago, captioned, “Day 1: Lights camera action! Queen of Guns is ready to blow away your mind.” However, it remains unclear whether the scene was part of a scripted production or an unprofessional use of police resources.
The NPF emphasized that the officers’ actions fell short of expected standards, reinforcing their commitment to upholding professionalism. As of now, Angela Okorie has not issued a public statement addressing the controversy.
The investigation continues as the public awaits further details on the officers’ conduct and potential sanctions.
