The Osun State Police Command says it has identified and detained its officer that was drunk as exposed in a viral video on social media.
The video had shown the officer identified as Sergeant Onatunde Joba misbehaving on the streets of Osogbo.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Yemisi Opalola, in a statement on Wednesday said that Joba was currently undergoing an orderly room trial.
The statement read, “The Osun State Police Command in its continued efforts to rid the command of all forms of unethical behaviours, unprofessional acts and indiscipline, has identified, arrested and detained the police officer, Sergeant Onatunde Joba, that was drunk and whose video went viral.
“Investigation and disciplinary actions have commenced. The Commissioner of Police, Olawale Olokode, is using this medium to state that the stringent disciplinary action he would face will serve as a deterrent to other officers of his likes.
“The command under his watch will not tolerate or condone any act that is capable of tarnishing the image of the Force, or unbecoming of a police officer.”
