A policeman has come under fire on social media for purportedly lacing the shoe of Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). In a viral video, Ganduje was standing, while the yet-to-be-identified police officer went on bended knees to knot the former?s shoelaces.

The video which surfaced online on Monday has got people talking.

While some wondered why a police officer in uniform would be caught in such an act, others opined that Ganduje might have played an important role in the officer?s life.

og_cemoni: ?Can he do the same for an ordinary citizen who is of the same age with Ganduje and he should respect his uniform not the age. There is a whole lot wrong with it for a policeman in uniform to be doing that. Does Ganduje not have personal aides?.

@kelvin_kertz: ?In Nigeria, Police officers are custodians of the law for the poor masses and Errand boys for politicians. Be like npf go begin add ability to double as house epp, nanny, shukusheka to their CVs at this point.?

@ayenielijahofficial: ?Policemen doing busybodies because he wants to remain with APC National chairman. You may not know the role Ganduje played in the man?s life. He get some people wey go help you, elevate you ?you can kpai for them if need be. Whoever recorded this video has just lost his/her job and closeness to Powerful People.?

@franknero400: ?This is how Apc government has reduce our security personnel to house boys, no respect for uniform men anymore, is a shame.?

@laystan: ?This is Nigeria where the the security forces are slave to the elite.?

This comes weeks after some police officers were seen in a viral video receiving cash from a Chinese national.

The footage shows uniformed officers lining up as a Chinese man hands them cash gifts.

The incident drew sharp condemnation from the public and human rights advocates, who described it as disgraceful and damaging to the image of the police.

Following the circulation of the footage, the Force Headquarters confirmed that those involved had been identified and would face disciplinary procedures. (Daily Trust)
