The police have the power to break into any house or place where they are reasonably convinced an offence is being committed. That is understandable. But I am not too ok with their dressing and appearance. It is improper dressing. Policemen are not allowed to wear masks or tie headgear. These are 2 issues we need to iron out. What is the offence of the people to have warranted breaking in, and why this dressing? I wish I knew the location so that we could direct these questions to the men involved. However, I have shared the video with the PPROs to locate the men. We need to investigate the scene captured in the video. Thanks.”EFCC sacks 27 operatives
