The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) says it will take action against the police orderly of Titi, wife of Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for imposing domestic duties on an officer.
The PDP presidential candidate had posted on Twitter pictures of his wife at an event in Abuja on Wednesday with the caption;
“The S.H.E initiative by my wife, Hajia Titi Abubakar, entails concepts that are dear to me. Security, health and education. These three concepts define the scope of true freedom for any individual, especially the girl-child.”

But one of the pictures showed a police officer carrying a handbag while Atiku’s wife was addressing the audience.
The handbag was believed to be Titi Abubakar’s.
Thereafter, the event elicited reactions on social media as some netizens called the attention of police authorities to the incident.
Reacting, Muyiwa Adejobi, force spokesperson, said it is not the duty of the officer to carry the handbag of Atiku’s wife.
“This is not acceptable. We have commenced necessary action on this. We will fish her out and get across to the principal,” Adejobi wrote.
“The AIG Special Protection Unit has been contacted to assist us get the woman police. Gradually, we will sanitise the system.”
Similarly in September, the police arrested Zainab Duke-Abiola, a professor and human rights activist, for allegedly assaulting Teju Moses, a police inspector.
