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.
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.
Singer, Mercy Isoyip, aka Descushiel, has apologised to Nigerians and the Nigeria Police Force after reciting the national anthem wrongly during the Conference for Senior Police Officers in Imo State.
The singer, who donned the police uniform during the conference, went viral on Monday after she recited the national anthem at the event and missed the lyrics.
This led to knocks from the netizens as they trolled the singer, who was presumed to be a policewoman because of her outfit.
In a video on her Instagram page on Tuesday, Descushiel apologised for her errors.
The video was captioned, “I sincerely apologise for the error I made during the recital of the National Anthem, I know such errors are inexcusable.
“My good people of our country, please accept my apology, as well as my assurance that I will be more careful in the future to prevent such incidents from recurring.
“God bless the Nigeria Police Force. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
