Nigerians react
@ilerioluwa_3 stated:
"Make those CSP CP and IGP go USA to study at police academy to understand what name police is."
@_minah_thrift said:
"Stop attaching people’s success to where they are from when the place didn’t actually help them get to where they are it’s disgusting. He made his family proud not Nigeria, if he was to be In Nigeria, I’m sure he won’t even be giving chance to be in the police force."
@peterblacc remarked:
"I see a lot of people questioning how it affects our personal lives, but the truth is that it's a great representation of who we are and what we stand for. If we can denounce those who have tarnished Nigeria's image, why can't we applaud those who have done well?"
@ejis_billz opined:
"Nigeria government suppose try to bring this officer’s abroad back home to come and train this once we have here in Nigeria so that they will know to treat citizens."
