A popular Nigerian comedian, Bright Akpochi, A.K.A Basketmouth, on Friday in Lagos promised never to make negative jokes about the Nigeria Police and their performance.

Basketmouth made the promise while receiving his stolen handset recovered by the police from the Lagos Police Commissioner, Fatai Owoseni.

He said he made those negative jokes about the police due to public perception about the performances of the officers and men.

Owoseni, while presenting the handset, said basketmouth’s visit was symbolic, stressing that his appreciation will boost the moral of the officers and men.

He said the police was committed to the safety of live and property, urging the public to always say something, whenever they see something .

Some robbery suspects, had September last year invaded the home of Basketmouth at Lekki area of Lagos State.

Two of the suspects had since been charged to court over the attack.
