The Osun Police Command said it will henceforth sanction its officers attached to government officials caught carrying out domestic duties for their principals.
The warning is contained in a statement issued by the Command’s Spokesperson, SP Yemisi Opalola, and made available to newsmen in Osogbo Monday.
Opalola explained that police officers attached to government officials were to protect their lives and property and not to serve as their domestic workers.
“The command is miffed with consternation the way and manner government officials and personalities use police orderlies attached to them for domestic duties, such as carrying handbags, umbrellas and opening of gates, amongst other menial duties.”
“Government officials are therefore enjoined to employ the services of domestic staff and personal assistants to carry out such services,” the statement added.
