Police authorities said two police officers seen in a viral video fighting over alleged bribe have been identified and arrested.
In a statement shared on Twitter this evening via @PoliceNG, the force said the two officers are attached to the Edo State command.
It added that the two would be subjected to the internal disciplinary process of the police force.
The statement reads, “The two policemen, F/NO 41112 CPL Ozimende Aidonojie and F/NO 516384 PC Salubi Stephen in this viral video have been identified, arrested and detained. They are currently undergoing internal disciplinary sanctions at the Edo State Police Command Headquarters.
“The Force wishes to apprise the general public that this show of shame is certainly not in our character and we will not condone such indiscipline.
“In the best tradition of transparency and accountability, the outcome of the trial will be made public. This, we believe, will also serve as deterrent to other police officers.”
