EXTRA: ‘Policewoman murders’ lyrics of national anthem at Imo retreat

In what appears to be an embarrassing moment, the video of a female police officer who wrongly recited Nigeria’s national anthem has gone viral.

The female officer led the recitation of the national anthem at the conference and retreat for senior operatives in Imo state.

The retreat, which was attended by senior police and military officers, took place on Monday in Owerri, the Imo state capital.

Hope Uzodinma, governor of Imo, was present at the event.

In the usual manner in government events, Nigeria’s national anthem is usually recited at the opening of the programme.

During the recitation of the national anthem at the event, the female police officer could not properly recite the lyrics .

The presentation of the police officer came as a surprise to many attendees at the event.

I know even sure I remember all the wording of our national anthem again… However, she should have practiced and prepared more, might also be due to stage fright. Finally don’t we have Police matching band that sing at occasion like this? Just curious thopic.twitter.com/MwOPRlnsh6
