- As IGP Tasks Officers On Professionalism, Respect For Fundamental Rights
SEQUEL 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, Inspector Adejoh Siaka has been reduced in rank to Sergeant.
Also, Sergeant Ndiwa Kpuebari, who was also present at the scene but took no steps to discourage such an inappropriate and shameful act, was severely reprimanded.
However, Inspector Friday Obaka, who was later discovered to have been absent from the scene of the skirmish, was discharged unconditionally after the proceedings. In all, the three Policemen will be posted out of Rivers State to other Commands and Formations to continue their police duties. It
CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Force Public Relations Officer, in a statement, said 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).
