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, one Inspector Adejoh Siaka has been demoted to Sergeant.
This is as a result of follow-up orderly room trial of the affected Policemen by the Force Provost Marshal, similarly, one Sergeant Ndiwa Kpuebari who was also present at the scene, but took no steps to discourage such inappropriate and shameful act was severely reprimanded.
The press statement signed by CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Spokesman for the Nigeria Police Force headquarters, Abuja, said however, that one Inspector Friday Obaka, who was later discovered to have been absent from the scene of the skirmish was discharged unconditionally at the conclusion of the proceedings.
“In all, the three Policemen will be posted out of Rivers State to other Commands and Formations to continue their Police duties.
“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)”.
Recall could be made that there was a viral video posted online that captured Inspector Adejoh Siaka severely assaulting a man in presence of his wife at Elibrada Junction on East-West road in Emohua local government area of Rivers State.
