The Lagos State Police Command has detained a police officer for failing to maintain professionalism during a confrontation with a citizen. This was disclosed in a statement released by the state Police spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, on Friday.

The incident involved Aderele Aisha, who drove against traffic and allegedly assaulted the officer, behaving in a disorderly and unruly manner. According to the statement, although the officer showed restraint most of the time, he allowed his emotions to cloud his judgment on a couple of occasions. He added that the officer has been taken into custody for appropriate disciplinary actions.

The officer has been taken in for appropriate actions. 'That being said, Aderele Aisha, who drove against traffic, clearly assaulted the officer and behaved in a disorderly and unruly manner. She has since profusely apologized for her actions and tendered a written apology.
