Policemen in Viral Video Manhandling Woman, Arrested – CP Delta

The Delta State Command of Nigeria Police has condemned the act of its officers caught in  a viral video allegedly manhandling a woman in a dehumanizing manner.

In a statement by DSP Bright Edafe, Police Public Relations Officer, Delta State said the Command is aware of a video recording that has since gone viral on various social media platforms.

“After a careful examination of the video clip, it is clear and obvious that the policemen acted in an unprofessional manner unbecoming of police officers.”

He stated that no citizen deserves to be treated in such a manner either by the Police or anybody.

The PPRO further stated that their act is not only inexcusable but unpardonable and will not be tolerated by the Command.

“The erring Police officers serving at Agbarho Division have been identified, summoned, and detained at the command headquarters.

He pointed out that the Commissioner of Police, CP Ari Muhammed Ali has directed that internal disciplinary action be initiated immediately and at the end of their orderly room trial, members of the public will be intimated on the outcome.

“The Command wishes to reiterate that “rope” is not a police accoutrement and as such, should not be used by policemen in whatever guise while carrying out their duty.”

“It’s not in the character of the Command to dehumanize and trample on the rights of citizens.”

He assured members of the public that the officers concerned will be decisively dealt in accordance with the extant laws as stipulated in the Police act and regulations to serve as a deterrent to others.

The CP emphasized that protection of life and properties in the State remains the top priority of the Command.

According to the PPRO, following dedicated phone lines are available to the public to reach the command, as a quick response contact for any complaint or distress situation. 09155570008,
