IGP Orders Investigation Into Viral Video of Police Officer Dehumanising Lady in Ibadan
The Inspector General of Police, IGP Mohammed Adamu, has ordered investigations into circumstances surrounding the dehumanising treatment meted out to a lady by a policeman in a viral video.
In the 2- minute 20-second video, a young girl is seen handcuffed and lying on the floor as the policeman, who seems to be recording the video, commands her to stand up.
In a statement on the official Twitter handle of the Nigeria Police, @PoliceNG, on Wednesday evening, the IGP condemned the action.
It reads: “The IGP, while condemning the act, has directed the commencement of comprehensive investigations aimed at unraveling the true identity of the perpetrators with a view to bringing them to justice.
“Members of the public are hereby assured that any member of the Force found culpable in the incident will be made to face appropriate sanctions.”
