Nothing to surprise about. Even the Inspector General of Police does not behave differently. They are all same individuals with lack of professionalism in place. The Commissioner and DPO of that area should have been on compulsory Leave right now if the IGP is normal

Nigeria police is a big disgrace, the word Nigeria police force is big mess, calamity, frustration, intimidation, is a pity !!!

The behaviour of that police officer is representative of the Nigeria police force. The IG should quit playing the ostrich.
