A police officer spotted assaulting a civilian in Port Harcourt, Rivers state has been arrested.
In a viral video, the policeman was seen flogging and slapping an unidentified man in Port Harcourt East-West Road, Emouha Junction.
Speaking on the development, the Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi while reacting to the viral video, condemned the action of the officer.
In an update shared on his handle on Monday evening, April 10, Adejobi said the officers involved in the act have been arrested and they will be transferred to the force headquarters today.
“These men have been arrested, and their commander will personally bring to the Force Headquarters tomorrow Tuesday(today) for further actions. They are 3 in number, attached to RRS, Rivers State. Their action does not portray the police in a good light at all.
“It is still to buttress my point that whatever a policeman does is personal, not systemic. I wonder how a man, a reasonable man, would be flogging or slapping a grown-up man in that manner. So barbaric and unpolice.”
