The Osun State Police Command has disclosed that one of its operatives, one Sgt Joba Onatunde, is facing orderly room trial for being drunk while in uniform.
A statement by the Command spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola on Wednesday said Joba was undergoing Orderly Room Trial.
According to her, “The Osun State Police Command in its continued effort to rid the Command of all forms of unethical behaviour, unprofessional acts and indiscipline, has identified, arrested and detained the police officer, Sgt Onatunde Joba that was drunk and whose video went viral.
“The Commissioner of Police, CP Olawale Olokode, is using this medium to state that the stringent disciplinary action he will 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.”
Onatunde was captured in a viral video answering questions from a man whose face was not recorded. He appeared heavily drunk and was incoherent in his responses.
Also in the video, the cop said he came from Ipetumodu, the headquarters of Ife North Local Government Area of Osun State, to Osogbo, but did not disclose his mission.
According to findings, the video was recorded around the Aregbesola area, along the Osogbo/Gbongan Road in Osogbo.
