The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) says five police officers will face disciplinary action for assaulting a civilian in Kwara state.
In a recent viral video, police officers were seen assaulting a male civilian and trying to push him into their vehicle.
Muyiwa Adejobi, NPF spokesperson, in a post on his official X page on Tuesday, said the officers involved in the incident along with their commander, have reported to the force headquarters.
He said the conduct of the officers involved in the incident is unacceptable and goes against the principles of the police.
“Incident of Police Misconduct in Kwara State: We have taken action in response to the recent incident involving officers from Kwara State Police Command who were captured assaulting a member of the public in a viral video,” Adejobi said.
“Such conduct is unacceptable and goes against the principles of the Force. The officers in question have reported at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, along with their commander.
“They have been referred to the Force Provost Marshal, where they will face disciplinary actions.”
The police spokesperson added that the NPF remains committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism and accountability within the force.
