Nigerian businessman Linus Williams Ifejirika, popularly known as “Blord,” is being investigated for allegedly using police officers as personal VIP escorts, the Force Public Relations Officer CSP Anietie Okokon Edem Iniedu announced on Wednesday.
The investigation follows a viral video that shows Blord accompanied by uniformed police officers in several settings, including a modern interior space and the entrance of a building. The footage, which quickly spread on social media, prompted the police to respond to the allegations.
“Unlawful and illegal. Investigation has commenced into this incident, please. We say #NoToImpunity,”
Iniedu said, describing the act as illegal and confirming that a probe has been launched.
The probe comes as the Nigerian president has issued a directive ordering the withdrawal of police officers attached to VIPs, aiming to refocus the force on its core duty of protecting lives and property.
The video that sparked the investigation can be viewed on the police spokesperson’s Twitter account: https://twitter.com/cspiniedu/status/2120396707296940135.
