How long will it take our police officers to imbibe some level of civility? Mr. Ndifreke Ibuotenang, 28, has revealed how he was brutalized on Thursday by some group of policemen in Akwa Ibom.
Mr. Ibuotenang said he was returning from where he went to relax and took palm wine around 9pm, when some policemen attached to Mkpat Enin Police Division accosted him and beat him to a pulp.
His two eyes were seriously affected. Sadly, he was only released after he paid N10,000 as "bail".
The state Police Commissioner, Murtala Mani, said the police had already commenced investigation into the case and the policemen involved were in detention at the police headquarters in the state.
His words: “We have already started investigation into the matter. We have detained all the policemen involved. I interviewed the victim close to three hours yesterday (Monday). If the culprits are found wanting, they would be dismissed and prosecuted.”
