Police Arrest Cops For Assaulting Civilians In Imo

Mohammed condemned the “inhuman treatment and assault on yet to be identified persons in the viral video.”

According to him, the officers were seen forcing five persons to lie on the floor, flogging them in the process, which is unethical, unprofessional, and unacceptable.

“The command, while condemning the action, wishes to inform the general public that the officers have been identified, arrested and disciplinary action commenced,” he said.

He advised the public to report any unprofessional conduct of officers of the command to the Assistant Commissioner of Police, XSquad, Public Complaint Bureau, or to the office of the commissioner of police.
