Some policemen caught in viral video ill-treating a woman in Delta have been arrested.
The moment, the officers were tying the lady who was only in pant with rope was filmed, with the video spreading through the net.
It has obtained the attention of the State Police Command as per its spokesperson, DSP Bright Edafe.
Edafe in a written remark expressed the police hierarchy’s displeasure at the officers’ act saying it would not go unpunished.
The remark in part; “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.
“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.
“The Commissioner of Police, CP Ari 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 is not in the character of the command to dehumanise and trample on the rights of citizens.”
