…risk dismissal, prosecutionÂ
The Imo State Police Command has commenced the orderly room trial of the policemen who were caught on a viral video assaulting Imo State University students with machete in Imo State recently for refusing to open their phone to the policemen.
The student whose identity was yet to be ascertained as at press time, had resisted forceful attempts by the Police personnel to gain access to his phone.
Angered by his resistance, the police men descended heavily on the student, using machete.
The policemen are:.
1. Inspector Amadi Sunday (The Team Leader)
2. Inspector Amajuoji Charlse
3. Sgt Noachian Chinese
4. Sgt Onwuka Emmanuel
5. Cpl Nzewuodo Goodness
6. Pc Emmanuel Chmezie.
It would be recalled that the authorities of the Nigeria Police had declared as illegal and unlawful any attempt by men of the Force to demand access to citizens’ telephones.
If found guilty, the six police personnel risk being dismissed and prosecuted, depending on the level of their culpability.
