What happened to the victim?
No apology?

INDEED THE NIGERIAN POLICE IS THE WORSTEST IN THE WORLD

THIS IS LIKE GOD...INSTEAD OF CASTING SATAN LUCIFER OUT OF HEAVEN....HE INSTEAD DEMOTED HIM FROM THE CHOIR MASTER THAT HE WAS TO A LAY READER.

This IGP have been trying but he fall my hand during governorship election.

They should extend this act to some police officers at nyanya police station that derive joy in killing innocent people.

Big boy!!! See as he put his hand for pocket.

the three Policemen will be posted out of Rivers State to other Commands and Formations to continue their police duties. Why do they have to do this they should have let them to be in that police station so that their junior will be able to send them out useless people in uniform

The inspector is not even showing any sign of remorse. From the images, one can see his facial expression. I would have preferred outright dismissal.

Nyanabo:
Police no fit harass me like this go free. Especially when I'm within my right.

Hmmmmmm only those who are alive live to tell story

Let me give you a heads up. Don’t ever mess with anyone holding a guy. Life has no duplicate.

Not good enough ... Dismissal would've been on point!... The arrogant dude's is even unbothered!

falcon01:
DEMOTION?? he should be Dismissed!

Dismissed He should be killed. Useless criminals

Is that all? Instead of dismiss why demotion

I for slap you back

NwaliE01:
You can see arrogance written over him.

How dare a policeman dip hand in his pocket before his superiors?

He ought to be locked up in the inner cell. He's not shown any sign of remorse.

That guy is dangerous. Look at what he put on at the place of work where he slapped the boy.

Our police force is synonymous with lawlessness.

I have never seen a policeman on duty abroad without complete uniform.

Please, if anyone has seen, he should disprove my assertion. Our country is just weird.

I taught I was only one that noticed
I swear NPF no get single Orientation.
So undisciplined institution.

I don't know of others but I trust the navy that single action of dipping hand in his pocket in front of his superiors will have him in guard room serving a Parkard job.

National disgrace to him and his family. You go hear am for your wife hand.

Very good. He should have also been made to publicly apologise. It's good the deranking was done publicly. The humiliation is more than the demotion. Police should use him as case study in all their training.

God bless the person that video the event

HE SHOULD BE TRANSFERRED TO HIS VILLAGE POLICE POST.. SO THAT HE CAN SLAPPING HIS KINSMEN

Hmm Good justice served. But that man should be protected, relocate or they should sign a bond that nothing must happen to that man. Anyone thinking wetin I dey 🤔 it's well

Offpoint1:
I wonder why Nigerians don't sue police. if this was America, the police department would had been sued and heavy compensation paid to the victim.


This demotions is just for the media, I've been in the system for long I know how all of these will end.

Because no one has faith in the judicial process.

This is a good one from the police

naptu2:


But they dismissed officers recently and people complained that they shouldn't have been dismissed because that would create new armed robbers.

They'll call them back and deploy them to some other state. Police no dey dismiss like that o

Justice for common man 👍

Not enough

Useless man. Why not just remove him entirely from police?

N3TRAL:
This should serve as deterrent to policemen who abuse their power and disrespect the fundamental rights of the citizens that they are obliged to protect.


I'm happy that the victim of the Policeman's brutality has gotten justice.


I hope that the families of thousands of young men murdered by the notorious, now defunct, Awkuzu Sars get justice and closure soon.

that is not justice. its a slap on the wrist.

"The punishment for the offense of assault and battery was at the other hand provided in Section 351 of the Criminal Code Act, which states that any person who unlawfully assaults another is guilty of a misdemeanor, and is liable, if no greater punishment is provided, to imprisonment for one year."

Section 355 of the Criminal Code Act in Nigeria:
Any person who unlawfully assaults another and thereby does him harm, is guilty of a felony and is liable to imprisonment for three years.

Nyanabo:

Oga, they have guns oh. Never drag with a man with gun. Live to fight another day.

mariovito:
Good one. Better than outright dismissal. with demotion,they may still be able to rein him in, but dismissal? That's free transfer of a formidable player to the opponent team(bandits, robbers, kidnappers, boko, iswap, ansaru etc)

how will a corrupt institution like the police "rein him in"? this is the law and the police didint follow it to the latter. if it was a civilian that slapped a policeman, that civilian will be prosecuted.
