A video of a police orderly holding a plate of food for his “madam”, Ambassador Nimota Akanbi, at a party has gone viral.
Akanbi is the chairman of the National Senior Secondary Education Commission (NSSEC). She is also a former Nigeria Ambassador to the Netherlands.
The event was said to be a Turbaning ceremony held in Ilorin, Kwara State during the weekend.

In the video, the officer identified as Yahaya Abubakar was seen carrying Akanbi’s plate as she went about dishing food from the array of food provided at the party.
The video has generated lots of reactions with many stating that the menial works carried out by police prevent them from doing the actual work of providing security and protecting the larger society. They also expressed disgust at the manner policemen are used by the rich for all kinds of jobs and how their leaders prioritise the security of a few Nigerians at the expense of the poor masses.
