Members of the Igbo community in Ondo State have paid a solidarity visit to the Commissioner of Police, Felix Ohagwu, after a viral video showed police officers making ethnically insensitive remarks to a motorist during a stop-and-search operation along the Lagos–Benin Expressway.The delegation, under the umbrella of the Non-Indigenes Assembly, Ondo State Chapter, visited the State Police Headquarters, Alagbaka, Akure, to commend the police command for what it described as a swift, transparent and professional response to the incident.PUNCH Online had earlier reported that the Ondo State Police Command arrested four officers captured in the viral video after it generated outrage on social media over allegations of ethnic bias, intimidation and unprofessional conduct.The footage showed a heated exchange between the officers and a motorist, reportedly a United Kingdom returnee, who accused them of attempting to extort him and profiling him based on ethnicity.The arrested officers.
