The Kwara State Police Command, on Sunday, 30 April 2023, said the command has identified the inspector in a viral video and he is undergoing a medical examination in the police clinic.

According to the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, SP Okasanmi Ajayi, the move is necessary to ascertain the state of his mental health, as it was observed that his case is more medical than alcoholic.

Ajayi added that the Commissioner of Police, Kwara State, CP Paul Odama, is not happy at the highly repulsive video of Inspector Stephen Yohana, presently making the rounds on various social media platforms.

He said: “After viewing the video, the Commissioner of Police, Kwara State, CP Paul Odama, swiftly directed that the policeman be identified and arrested.

“The command wishes to state that the police inspector who is attached to Share Division in Irepodun LGA of Kwara State has been identified and discovered to be currently undergoing a medical examination in the police clinic to ascertain the state of his mental health, as it was observed that his case is more medical than alcoholic.

“The result of his medical examination will determine the next action to be taken against him.”

Consequently, the CP has directed that the inspector be put under close observation by his immediate supervisor, the Divisional Police Officer of Share Division pending the conclusion of his treatment.
