GREENSBORO, N.C. — The Greensboro City Council released a statement Thursday after they reviewed body camera footage from an incident involving the city manager.
Police records show officers responded to city manager Taiwo Jaiyeoba's home on Dec. 28 for a family disorder. According to reports, Jaiyeoba and his two adult daughters had minor injuries.
City Council released this statement in response to their review of the body cam footage:
The entire body of the Greensboro City Council has reviewed the body-worn camera video from the December 28, 2023, police response to City Manager Jaiyeoba’s home. Four police officers and EMS staff responded to the call.
The officers spent a considerable amount of time interviewing the family. Additionally, a senior detective interviewed the City Manager and his family over the course of two days, following the incident.
Upon reviewing the video, it is apparent there was a family disagreement. It is unclear how the disagreement began. City Manager Jaiyeoba was the only person with a visible injury.
It is our collective opinion that the domestic disturbance was thoroughly investigated. Greensboro Police Department in consultation with the District Attorney’s office determined that no charges were warranted. Furthermore, in our view, the City Manager did not receive preferential treatment.
We hope the community will respect the family’s right to privacy. City Manager Jaiyeoba and his family should be granted the same privacy as any other family deserves in similar circumstances.
