The Nigeria Police Force has ordered the suspension of the Chairperson of the Police Community Relations Committee, PCRC, Edo State Command, Helen Odemwingie.
A statement issued by Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, decried the illegal use of police uniforms by non-police individuals and groups.
The statement noted that the outfit of Odemwingie and her officers had police insignias and various inscriptions.
It added that the act contravenes provisions of Section 214(1) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and Section 101 of the Police Act, 2020.
Recall that the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, had warned that any individual, who adorns themselves illegally in police uniforms, would face the full wrath of the law.
