The Nigeria Police Force has commenced an investigation into businessman Linus Williams Ifejirika, popularly known as Blord, over the alleged unlawful use of police officers as VIP escorts.
The Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Anietie Okokon Edem Iniedu, disclosed this on Wednesday in a statement reacting to a viral video showing the businessman accompanied by uniformed police officers.
Describing the alleged conduct as illegal, the police spokesperson confirmed that an investigation had commenced into the incident.
“Unlawful and illegal. Investigation has commenced into this incident, please. We say #NoToImpunity,” he stated.
The video, which triggered the investigation, reportedly showed Blord with uniformed police officers in different locations, including what appeared to be a modern interior and a building entrance.
The development comes amid a presidential directive ordering the withdrawal of police officers attached to VIPs to strengthen police presence in communities and enable officers to focus on their primary responsibility of protecting lives and property.
