Edo State entertainers, led by Comrade Kelly and MC Casino, visited the newly appointed Commissioner of Police, CP Funsho Adegboye, to present a petition addressing recent assaults on entertainers and law-abiding citizens by state police officers.
The group expressed their displeasure over the conduct of the police, particularly highlighting the incident involving MC Da Saint, also known as Oga John Bosco, who was allegedly beaten and mistreated by police officers. The officers involved were reportedly without name badges and used an unmarked vehicle. CP Adegboye watched the video evidence provided by the entertainers and identified the officers as members of the state command.
In his response, CP Adegboye thanked the entertainers for their lawful approach in addressing the issue through a formal petition. He apologized on behalf of the Nigeria Police Force to both the entertainers and MC Da Saint. He assured them that actions would be taken against the officers responsible for tarnishing the reputation of the police force, and justice would be served.
CP Adegboye reiterated that it is illegal for police officers to operate without proper identification, such as name tags and vehicle plate numbers. He also reminded the public that using or modifying cars with tinted glass is prohibited unless they are factory-tinted and lightly shaded, to help police effectively secure lives and property.
The Commissioner appointed the entertainers as ambassadors for the police in Edo State, emphasizing their role as societal watchdogs to help improve the state. He also urged all residents to remain vigilant and report any misconduct by the police. To facilitate this, he publicly shared his phone number for easy access.
