The footage, which circulated weeks ago, captured Okorie jogging on an expressway with two armed officers and two escort vehicles in tow.

In a statement issued on Wednesday via X, Muyiwa Adehobi, the force public relations officer, condemned the officers’ conduct, stating that it violated the “standard, discipline, and professionalism” of the NPF, even if the scene was part of a movie production.

Adejobi confirmed that an inquiry has been launched to identify the officers involved and determine the circumstances surrounding the video.

The police spokesperson disclosed that disciplinary measures will follow based on the findings.

He also reiterated the police force’s dedication to maintaining professionalism, discipline, and public confidence.

“The Nigeria Police Force strongly frowns at the conduct of armed police officers seen in a viral video trailing actress Angela Okorie while she jogged—an act considered clearly inconsistent with the professional standards and decorum expected of personnel of the Force,” the post reads.

“The incident, which appears to have occurred on or around a movie set, has also sparked widespread public concern and criticism.

“While it remains unclear whether the scene was part of a scripted production, the conduct of the officers seen in the video falls short of the standards expected of members of the Nigeria Police Force.

“Accordingly, necessary administrative processes have been initiated to identify the officers involved and determine the circumstances surrounding the video, while appropriate disciplinary action will be taken based on the outcome of the review.

“The Force remains committed to upholding professionalism, discipline, and public trust.”
