Female VIP In Viral Video Of Policeman With Sumptuous Plate Of Food Speaks

Former Nigeria’s Ambassador to the Republic of Netherlands, Dr Nimota Nihinlola Akanbi, the VIP captured in the viral video of a policeman carrying a sumptuously packed plate of food after her at a buffet has finally spoken. She has said that the food was not hers, but that of the policeman.

It is, however, unclear if police regulations allow a policeman on duty to be so free at the buffet while on detail assignment.

The social media has been fizzing with the video with condemnatory responses from the public on what appears to be the use of a Nigerian Police officer in such a demeaning manner.

But Akanbi, also the chairman of the Governing Board of National Secondary School Education, made the clarification in a statement in Ilorin on Wednesday.

She said that her police orderly was carrying his own food at a community engagement they both attended in Ilorin, Kwara State.

“The truth is that I allowed him ( police orderly) to pick his food. I am a teacher and disciplinarian,” she explained.

The former envoy urged Nigerians to disregard the viral video, saying that it might be the handiwork of her detractors.

She said she understands the importance and nature of the work of security operatives and that she would never do anything to demean them.

GreenWhiteGreen GWG had earlier reported that the policeman caught carrying the plate of food in the viral video with the female VIP has been summoned to Abuja upon the fury of police authorities.
