The police arrested the Inspector of police, Ogwang Julius who is said to have spearheaded an operation that saw TV presenter Mc Casmir recorded in a shameful act of adultery.
In a statement issued by police, recording the couple was very wrong since adultery is not a criminal offense.
“Last week, we witnessed an incident where a shameful incident of adultery, a purely civil matter, was criminalized and responded to by inspector of police, Julius Ogwang Of Kira Road Police Station. The two victims were arrested and interrogated on camera, in a manner that violated their privacy. Adultery is no longer a criminal offense in our country. Therefore, criminalizing it is an act of unprofessionalism and abuse of authority, which the force cannot tolerate,” the police statement read.
“The officer who registered the case, IP Ogwang Julius, is arrested and charged with discreditable conduct, which upon conviction, can lead to dismissal from the force. Our action, therefore, should act as a warning to other undisciplined officers, who look to gain from proceeds of their selfish interests, at the expense of the UPF mandate. The role of the police in civil conflicts, complaints, and disagreements are to protect life and property,” the police further clarified.
Casmir is currently celebrating and says his friendship with her will prevail.
