IMO Demotes Police Commander Sergeant Caught Attacker (Video)

A police officer on duty with the IMO State Police Command, Sergeant Anayo Ekezie, has been deployed from public anger as a reaction to the video showing officers installed on a safer road unit from the command that attacks a man along Jalan Ootri -Aba.

In the viral video, three police officers were seen attacking the victims while the SERSAN who were deployed were seen slapping and kicking the man who seemed to be a passenger in a commercial vehicle.

A statement on Thursday by the State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Henry Okoye, who confirmed the decline in the rank of Sergeant, said the officers involved were identified as Inspector ofongha, Inspector Obinna Okereke, and Sergeant Anayo Ekezie, all from safer highway units.

Okoye stated that following the video review, the order conducted an orderly room trial in accordance with the Nigerian Police disciplinary procedure.

” Sergeant Anayo Ekezie was found guilty of using the smoke shooter issued in the attack and had been deployed to the rank of Corporal.

“Inspector Obongha and Okereke are highly reprimanded for failing to exercise appropriate control controls, which allows unprofessional behavior to occur,” said the police spokesman.

He repeated the zero tolerance policy for police violations and promised appropriate actions for those found guilty.
