Nigerians have taken to Twitter to react to news of E-money treating policemen like household.
According to The Punch, a top police officer said: “We received a signal from the Force headquarters on Monday that the police detail of music executive, E-Money, be immediately withdrawn and an investigation into the man be launched.
“The IG was surprised that policemen were attached to him in the first place and were being used like domestic servants, carrying umbrellas, opening doors, and doing menial jobs for him.
“The policemen were discovered to be attached to B Operations at the command headquarters and not MOPOL which is the usual practice. So, we have withdrawn his policemen and we are inviting him for questioning. The policemen will also be interrogated.”
As this news broke, the Twitter community members haven’t failed to show various reactions to the news.
See some reactions below:
Nigeria is just a sick country. Why on earth will the Nigerian police give E money police escorts at all?
He should employ private securities for himself.
Even Richard Branson one of the richest men in the world or even Bill Gates don’t have police escorts.
Backwards Nigeria.

They’re investigating E money because of his Flamboyant Lifestyle and his use of Police ???!
– It’s a crime to be rich because they want everybody poor.
Sometimes you just have to let the country use you because hope no Dey

If the IG of @PoliceNG just realized that people are moving with police escorts & living flashy lifestyles not supported by their means of income,then i advice he does his job well.There are those that move with 10 times more policemen & even DSS officers like Jowi Zaza.#E-Money

Nothing wrong with the police escort,but as a Nigerian, the authority frowns on abuse when it is on camera, cos it's making them see what they are doing wrong, but E money was showing the display of his lifestyle with police abuse rampant, it's not about his tribe
