Following complaints and a subsequent orderly room trial, one police officer, Inspector Adejoh Siaka, has demoted from Inspector to Sergeant, and another officer, Sergeant Ndiwa Kpuebari, was severely reprimanded for their involvement in the incident.

Additionally, Inspector Friday Obaka, who was absent from the scene, was discharged unconditionally.

This is according to Force Public Relations Officer ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi.

Adejobi said the attention of the NPF was drawn to an old video that has gone viral, where on Sunday 9th April, 2023, engaged in assault, discreditable conduct, and incivility to members of the public, at Emouha, Rivers State.

He said the matter was adequately addressed by the Police with public dissemination of Information on Police action via a press statement with reference number CZ.5300/FPRD/FHQ/ABJ/VOL.5/52 dated April 18, 2023.

Adejobi said it was astonishing to see the video being widely circulated again as a new incident.

He urged the public to discountenance the video which appears to be an attempt to bring the Force to disrepute and generate a wrong impression about the Police.

The imagemaker warned Mischief makers to always verify facts before rushing to make unfounded claims about such matters on social media.
