ASSAULT ON PUBLIC: POLICE DERANKS ONE, ANOTHER SEVERELY REPRIMANDED

As IGP Tasks Officers on Professionalism, Respect for Fundamental Rights

Subsequent to complaints and findings on video evidence widely circulated on Sunday 9th April, 2023, on social media of assault, discreditable conduct, and incivility to members of the public, at Emouha, Rivers State, and a follow-up orderly room trial of the affected policemen by the Force Provost Marshal, one Adejoh Siaka has been reduced in rank from Inspector to Sergeant.

Similarly, one Sergeant Ndiwa Kpuebari who was also present at the scene but took no steps to discourage such inappropriate and shameful act was severely reprimanded.

However, one Inspector Friday Obaka, who was later discovered to have been absent from the scene of the skirmish was discharged unconditionally at the conclusion of the proceedings.

In all, the three Policemen will be posted out of Rivers State to other Commands and Formations to continue their police duties.

The Inspector General of Police has therefore tasked officers and men of the Force to be diligent and uphold the lofty tenets of professional policing in the discharge of their duties with respect for the fundamental rights of all citizens in line with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).

But they dismissed officers recently and people complained that they shouldn't have been dismissed because that would create new armed robbers.

This should serve as a lesson to policemen who abuse their power and disrespect the fundamental rights of the citizens that they are obliged to protect.


I'm happy the victim of the Policeman's brutality have gotten justice.


I hope the families of thousands of young men murdered by the notorious, now defunct, Awkuzu Sars get justice and closure soon.
