A statement by the Edo Police Command’s spokesman, SP Kontongs Bello, noted that CP Yaro received the news with great shock and described the action of the team as unacceptable and unprofessional.
He said the Command under his watch will not condone acts of misconduct that are inimical to the peace and safety of law abiding citizens of Edo State.
