The statement was titled, \u2018Cultic activity: IGP condemns act, as officer in viral video identified, arrested\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, has condemned the unruly conduct of the Police officer caught in a viral video, singing, dancing, and brandishing a rifle in praise of a particular confraternity (cult).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe officer has been identified as Corporal Matthew Isaac, attached to the Ebonyi State Police Command.<\/span><\/p>\n
