Ebunoluwa, a well-known apiculturist and beekeeper, serves in the Command’s religious division.
In a series of tweets posted at around 1.07 a.m. on Thursday, she detailed her experience, claiming that she had been imprisoned without being interrogated and denied access to toiletries.
Ebunoluwa was reportedly instructed to report to the Command on Wednesday to meet with the Deputy Commissioner for an interview; however, she was unaware that she would be imprisoned.
“I never saw this coming. I have never thought I’ll be put in detention without interrogation. All I did was try to resign. I have been trying to resign from the Police since last year but my letters were not approved.
“My boss had called me to show up yesterday 24th of May to meet the Deputy commissioner for an interview. I thought they were finally going to approve my resignation but the only words I heard was that I should be detained to be tried and dismissed.

According to the Command’s spokesperson, Ben Hundeyin, Ebunoluwa is being held for missing work for 21 days without authorization, adding such an act was a “flagrant disregard for the conditions of service she willingly signed to”.
He stated, “It is one thing to turn in your resignation. It is another thing for the application to be processed, upon which you receive your discharge certificate. Till you get the discharge certificate, you remain a serving member of the Force, bound by all extant rules and regulations of service”.
Hundeyin confirmed that Ebunoluwa will commence her orderly room trial on Thursday for indiscipline and maliciously bringing the “name of the Force into disrepute by distorting/misrepresenting facts – a discreditable conduct that amounts to another disciplinary offence”.
