Adejoh Siaka, one of the three policemen involved in the maltreatment of a civilian at Emouha, Rivers State, has been reduced in rank from Inspector to Sergeant.
Force Public Relation Officer, CSP Muyiwa Adejobi confirmed this in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday.
Adejobi said 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,” he said.
He said the disciplinary measures were outcomes of orderly room trial of the affected policemen by the Force Provost Marshal,
Adejobi said the Inspector – General of Police has therefore tasked officers and men of the Force to be diligent and always uphold professional policing in the discharge of their duties with respect for the fundamental rights of citizens. (vitalnewsngr.com)
