In a recent video that surfaced online, a policewoman was seen assisting the First Lady of Osun State, Titilayo Adeleke, in putting on her earring, sparking diverse reactions from Nigerians. The footage, which quickly went viral, depicted the policewoman performing a seemingly personal task for the First Lady, raising questions about the appropriateness of such actions. While some defended the act, suggesting a close and amicable relationship between the two, others strongly condemned it, asserting that a policewoman’s role should not extend to personal assistance, especially when funded by taxpayers.
Critics argue that public servants, including police personnel, should maintain a level of professionalism and focus on their primary duties rather than engaging in what they perceive as menial and non-official tasks. They emphasize that the policewoman, as a public servant, is being paid with taxpayers’ money and should prioritize her responsibilities in maintaining law and order. See below;
