A Nigerian police officer was arrested for unethical behaviour after being seen in a viral video holding naira notes for billionaire sons.

 

 

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Nigeria Police Force has detained a police officer captured in a viral video holding bundles of naira notes used for spraying during a lavish event involving Wahab Okoya, the youngest son of billionaire businessman Razaq Okoya.

The officer faces disciplinary action, according to a statement released by the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Friday morning.

The viral video, which surfaced three days ago, shows the uniformed officer standing behind Wahab and his brother at what is believed to be a party at the family’s opulent mansion in Lekki, Lagos.

The officer was seen holding bundles of naira notes as the Okoya brothers sprayed money, a display that sparked widespread criticism.

The footage ignited outrage among netizens, with many condemning both the Okoya brothers for disrespecting the naira and the officer’s involvement in the act.

Critics highlighted the disparity in enforcement, pointing out that less privileged Nigerians have been arrested and prosecuted for similar offences by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

In a statement shared on the Nigeria Police Force’s X (formerly Twitter) handle, Adejobi described the officer’s behaviour as “unethical.”

He assured the public of the police’s commitment to upholding its core values and taking action against misconduct.

“The policeman captured in the recent viral video shared by the sons of Lagos businessman Chief Okoya, where they were abusing the naira, has been identified and detained for disciplinary action,” Adejobi stated.

“The involvement of the policeman has been condemned, as it’s unethical. We will always strive hard to uphold the sanctity, credibility, and core values of the police.”

The event, believed to be hosted at the Okoya family’s multimillion-naira mansion, featured Wahab, an aspiring musician, alongside his brother.

Their ostentatious display of wealth further fuelled criticism of the country’s elite and the role of law enforcement in enabling such behaviour.

The case highlights broader concerns about inequality and the perceived selective enforcement of laws in Nigeria, drawing attention to how privilege can shield certain individuals from accountability.

The detained officer now awaits disciplinary measures, as the police reaffirm their stance on ethical conduct and the sanctity of the nation’s currency.
