Police arrest drunk operative in viral video, for orderly room trial

The Osun State Police Command said it has arrested one of its operatives, Sergeant Onatunde Joba, who was caught drunk in a video that has gone viral.

The spokesperson of the Command, SP Yemisi Opalola, stated this in a statement she issued on Wednesday in Osogbo.

The statement said the command will not tolerate any kind of unprofessional act from its personnel.

Opalola said: The statement reads: “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, Sgt Onatunde Joba that was drunk and whose video went viral.

“Investigation and disciplinary actions have commenced as the police officer is undergoing Orderly Room Trial.

“The Commissioner of Police, CP 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, as 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.”
