In a 12-second video that went viral on Tuesday, the officer
was seen firing at the vehicle’s tyre in the middle of a busy road, causing
panic among passersby.

The incident reportedly occurred near Toscana Hotel in the
state capital.

Reacting to the video on Wednesday, Bright Edafe,
spokesperson of the command, described the officer’s conduct as “embarrassing,
shameful, careless and unprofessional”.

Edafe said the officer had been identified, arrested, and
placed in detention.

He added that the erring officer will face disciplinary
action and appear before the state commissioner of police.

“In all honesty, this is embarrassing, shameful, careless,
so unprofessional and not justified at all,” Edafe said in a post on X.

“The policeman has been identified, detained, and will
appear before the CP today.”

He assured the public that the command remains committed to
maintaining professionalism and will not tolerate misconduct by any of its
personnel.
