Recall that a video was in circulation few weeks ago on social media showing the two policemen shooting in the air while in a moving vehicle in Lagos.
However, the Head of Public Complaints Rapid Response Unit (PCRRU), ACP Abayomi Shogunle, has disclosed that the Commissioner of Police in charge of the Police Mobile Force at the Force Headquarters, identified the men following a directive from the Inspector-General of Police.
Shogunle who said the incident happened on July 31 at 5pm along the Murtala Mohammed International Airport road in Lagos explained that the two policemen, are members of the 20 Police Mobile Force Squadron, who were attached to a private security company, Infinity Security Company.
Shogunle said a popular Nigerian musician, David Adeleke, (AKA Davido), then engaged them to provide escort for him to his house while returning from abroad.
Along the way, as seen in the video which has been confirmed from investigation, the two policemen involved started shooting into the air for no just cause.
