Police Parades Officers Caught Assaulting Man For Refusing To Unlock His iPhone In Enugu

The three police officers captured in a video that went viral showing a young man being assaulted for refusing to unlock his iPhone have been paraded following their arrest.

Recall that the incident happened on Saturday 4^th January 2020 along Kenyatta Street, Uwani, Enugu.

The Enugu State police commissioner, Mr. Ahmed Abdurahman, while parading the officers on Monday 6^th January said the report of a panel of inquiry will be used in the orderly room trial of the erring officers.

The commissioner while commenting said;

"After
the panel's three days' work, we will look into the panel's findings and
recommendations. Then, they will face an orderly room trial and after all
these, we know what level of punishment will be meted on them.

“The members
of the public should know that the Nigeria Police under the present IG cannot
condone and shield such uncivilized characters.

"Nigerians
should know that the negative action of the erring personnel is unprofessional
and does not in any way reflect the image and attitude of the Nigeria Police.
We are here to police with the human face and some level of decorum and
civility."

Further investigation shows that the officers include two Non-Commissioned Officers (NCO) and a constable.
