Another shows him in the midst of the kids holding a microphone as they all surrounded him, wearing happy faces.
Lt Col AA Adekuoroye said:
"My Christmas children Carnival today in Michika. It was fun. All glory be to God... it was fun today celebrating my Xmas with these innocent kids in the North East."
Policeman gifted out bags of rice on Christmas Day
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a viral video shared online captured a Nigerian policeman doing the unusual as he blessed people on Boxing Day so that they would not go hungry.
In the clip, after the man had interacted with them; asking the people how they celebrated their Christmas, he went into the boot of his car.
The man brought out bags of rice and handed one each to them. He even gave a bag to the keke man driving them.
