News reaching NOTM online Tuesday morning indicated that the three policemen involved in slapping and beating of an unidentified in Port Harcourt Rivers State have been arrested by the state command.
The incident was said to have happened at Elibrade junction, Emohua Local Government Area on Monday.
The video of the “unpolice and unethical” action, as described by the Force Police Public Relations Officer CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has gone viral.
Giving an update Monday evening, Adejobi said: “These men have been arrested, and their commander will personally bring to the Force Headquarters tomorrow Tuesday 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.”
