Description

The Rivers State Police Command has arrested two of its operatives who assaulted and brutalised a middle-aged man identified as Iyke in Oyigbo. Local Government Area of the state.

In a viral video seen by our correspondent, the two armed police officers were seen dragging the man and pushing him towards their patrol van packed along the road.

The incident took place on Saturday, July 8, 2023, when the man dressed in brown trousers and a black handless casual shirt was seen trying to explain a point to the officers, refusing to follow the officers.

But the cops holding AK-47 rifles kept dragging the man, pulled him to the ground and eventually succeded in bundling him into their steaming van.

A man’s voice who commented on the video decried the action of the policemen who he said operated like men of the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad, saying such an act was a recurring decimal in the Oyigbo axis of the state.

The unidentified man’s voice in the video could be heard calling on members of the public to share the video until it gets to the authorities.

He stated, “Please you people should share this video because what they (police) are doing in Oyigbo is not good.
