Adejobi quoted and replied to the tweet saying, “These men have been arrested, and their commander will personally bring them to the Force Headquarters tomorrow Tuesday for further actions.
“They are three in number, attached to RRS, Rivers State.
“Their action does not portray the police in a good light at all,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Force PRO had earlier condemned the action of the policeman describing it as unfortunate
He stressed, “I have asked the Rivers State Command to fish them out.
“This is unpolice, unethical, and condemned.
“Whatever the man must have done, he doesn’t deserve this beating.
“Beating him like a baby?? A grown-up man? We will surely get the men.”
