Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has come out to respond after the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) announced disciplinary action against some of its armed officers who were caught on video jogging behind her during her workout.
In the viral clip, two armed policemen were seen trailing the moviestar closely as she jogged casually, sparking outrage and questions over the misuse of state security personnel.
After the Nigeria Police Force described the act as unprofessional and embarrassing, Angela announced that she was invited for questioning.
According to her, she has since honoured the invitation and made it very clear that she will never disrespect the police.
“Happy New Month, Nigeria!
Happy New month, NPF!
I, Angela Okorie, Legit Queen, want to take this opportunity to reassure the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and the entire Nigerian public of my unwavering respect and high regard for the Nigerian Police.
I will never, under any circumstances, disrespect the Nigeria Police in any manner,” she said.
The filmmaker further noted that the Nigeria Police Force came to her rescue when she was shot on December 12, 2019, so it is impossible for her to disrespect the unit years later.
She concluded by vowing to keep promoting the image and the integrity of the Nigeria Police Force.
“Let us not forget: on December 12, 2019, I was shot and attacked, and it was the Nigeria Police Force that rescued me and still conducting a professional investigation into the matter. Since then, the love and support from the NPF has been truly overwhelming and unforgettable.
Finally, Thank you Nigerian Police Force for the Invite Last week and I promise to keep promoting the image and the integrity of our dear NPF! Long live Nigeria!” she added.
