Policewoman Fauzziyah Isiak was detained by the Lagos Police Command for attempting to resign, according to the Lagos State Police Command.
Recall, Isiak said in a string of tweets that she had been held since Wednesday morning after being summoned in for an interview.
The policewoman added that she repeatedly tendered her resignation to the Nigeria Police Force last year, but it has been rejected ever since.

Isiak was jailed for fleeing her post, although Command spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin later added via Twitter that she did not follow the proper procedures when she resigned.
He said, “Last year, at the start of the honey season, she absconded from work without permission. When reached on phone to ascertain her whereabouts, she sent in her resignation – not tenable.
“Same thing this year. She sent in a resignation letter after first going AWOL. Due process must be followed.
“Her trial has commenced for absence from duty for fifty-three days and flouting of the NPF Social Media Policy.”
The female police officer demanding to resign understands the protocols, according to the Nigeria Police Force’s spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who also called her public outburst “funny and misled.”

His tweet read, “Everyone knows the process. She is just being funny and misled, I guess. I am sure many have got the facts from the command.
“The process is clear. You write a resignation letter through your DPO, to Area Commander, follow the ladder up to the IGP, and response comes via the same route.”
