The Nigeria Police has come under attack after a viral picture of Big Brother Naija, BBNaija former housemate, Kiddwaya with its officers surfaced online.

The former BBNaija housemate on Wednesday shared pictures on Instagram where he had about four police officers with guns as escorts.

Some Nigerians who are not impressed by the action called out the Police for giving such security to a celebrity, while insecurity heightens in many parts of the country.

While some hailed the billionaire’s son, explaining that the level of kidnapping in the country was enough reason for him to have such security, others frowned at it.

This is coming at a time when the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba ordered withdrawal of senior police officers from EFCC.

“A whole four police officers to a private citizen that can easily get himself akpu obi bouncers? Police, this picture shames the force and the new IGP.”

“What is the work of our private security outfits? Four police officers to only one celebrity is not morally right.”

@Debo:

“That’s the reason we’re having security challenges in this country. Police that’s supposed to be guiding ordinary citizens were attached to Dubious VIPs.”

@Ufomma:

 “Any IG of police that doesn’t have as his number 1 priority the cancellation of VIP policing, beginning with men of god (cause they already have anointing), is not serious about insecurity!
