Lagos State Police Command has identified the officer pictured smoking weed in the Ijora area of Lagos State.
The policeman drew widespread condemnation when he was pictured in the act as weed remains illegal in Nigeria.
Spokesman of the Command Benjamin Hundeyin said in a statement on Tuesday that the officer is ASP Babatunde Adebayo serving at Shogunle Division.
Hundeyin said the state commissioner of police Abiodun Alabi has directed the “immediate commencement of appropriate disciplinary measures commensurate with his rank.”
“CP Alabi has equally warned officers and men of the Command to stay clear of all unprofessional and unethical conducts as any officer found guilty of these acts will be severely sanctioned,” the statement said.
