The Lagos Police Command says the man allegedly caught in a viral video masturbating in a commercial vehicle is not a policeman.
The Lagos state Police Relations Officer (PPRO), CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.
The police spokesman said the man identified as Mr Matthew, works as a driver for GTC Laundry Services, situated on Channels TV Road, Isheri, Lagos and faked being a police officer during the “drama’’ in the video.
Adejobi said “Mr Matthew resorted to verbal abuse and attempted to physically assault the lady when he noticed she was recording his indecent act on her phone.
“Unfortunately, the suspect has also been identified by some other women who had similar experiences with him in previous years and on the same route.
“The women involved have made series of statements which will assist the police in their investigation.
“Mathew’s careless and unguided utterances has dragged the name of the Nigeria Police Force in the mud and we will ensure that he is severely punished for exhibiting such act.
“Also, the Commissioner of Police has ordered the Gender Unit of the Command to begin the case, arrest the suspect and commence proper investigation.’’
Recall that in a viral video making the rounds on the internet, a man alleged to be a police officer was captured masturbating in a commercial vehicle.
The man assaulted a lady, one Olajumoke Okeyemi, for correcting his actions and act of sexual harassment in a public vehicle.
