Police orderly lands in trouble for carrying Atiku’s wife’s bag
Story from Saleh INUWA, Kano,
In what the Nigerian Police may have seen as tarnishing the top civil security outfit, it says it will sanction the police orderly of Titi Abubakar, wife of the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) who was seen on a video carrying a bag for Mrs Atiku.
Police Public Relations Officer, Prince Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who disclosed this recently, specifically attributed the development to the action of carrying the bag by the orderly.

A Twitter user had expressed reservations over the policewoman carrying Mrs Titi Abubakar’s handbag while she was delivering a speech at an event in Abuja.
She handed her handbag to the police orderly while delivering her address at the unveiling of the SHE campaign, which she organised to rally the support of the women folk for her husband’s 2023 presidential bid.
The picture of the police orderly carrying her bag trended on social media after it was shared by a Twitter user, @Fifi_Ify, who said the officer had “been turned into a maid.”
The tweet reads: “When a private citizen can turn our uniform force member into her maid, why won’t the police forget their primary duty and only dance to the tune of the elites?”
Reacting, Adejobi said: “This is not acceptable. We have commenced necessary action on this. We will fish her out and get across to the principal.
“The AIG Special Protection Unit has been contacted to assist us to get the woman police. Gradually, we will sanitise the system,” he said.
