The Lagos State police command has defended operatives under its jurisdiction who have come under criticism lately for consumption of alcohol and other irresponsible behaviours on duty.
A recent photo showing officers in police uniforms drinking alcohol at a relaxation spot caused uproar on social media with many demanding an immediate reform of the Force.
The command’s spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin, who addressed journalists on Saturday, however said police officers are not barred by any law from taking alcohol, especially when they are not on duty.
