Police officers to face disciplinary actions for assault in Kwara
‘Six police officers from the Kwara State Police Command will face disciplinary actions for assaulting a man,” said Police spokesperson Olumuyiwa Adejobi in a statement on his X handle. “The officers, along with their Commander, are currently in Police Headquarters in Abuja’.
The officers were caught in a viral video assaulting the young man and tried to forcefully drag him into their vehicle after labeling him a yahoo boy (internet fraudsters).
Adejobi has initially reacted to the video after his attention was called to it.
