The Imo State Police Command is aware of a video currently circulating on social media showing some police personnel assaulting a young man at Nduhobokwe, Uzoagba, in Ikeduru Local Government Area of Imo State on 22nd June 2026.
Following a prompt review of the incident, the six officers involved have been identified as operatives of the Command. They are Inspector Ugochukwu Ibe, Inspector Nwachi Chimezie, Sergeant Ugoezuhu Austin, Corporal Michael Obi, Corporal Ebuka Onwuegbu, and Corporal Amos Sunny.
Consequently, the Commissioner of Police, Imo State Command, CP Audu Garba Bosso, psc(+), mnips, has directed a thorough investigation into the incident to establish the full circumstances surrounding the misconduct of the officers involved. The officers have been taken into custody, and disciplinary procedures have been initiated in line with the extant regulations of the Nigeria Police Force.
