The Ebonyi State Police Command has condemned the actions of an officer seen in a viral video brandishing a rifle and engaging in an altercation with a passenger.

The widely shared footage has sparked public outrage, as the officer’s conduct is considered a breach of the Nigeria Police Force’s (NPF) ethics and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).

In a statement on Monday, the Command’s spokesperson, SP Joshua Ukandu, confirmed that the officer has been identified and is under investigation, with disciplinary measures already in motion.

Commissioner of Police, CP Anthonia Adaku Uche-Anya, reaffirmed the Command’s zero tolerance for indiscipline and assured the public that any officer found guilty of misconduct would face appropriate consequences.

As the video continues to circulate online, many are demanding swift action to ensure law enforcement officers maintain professionalism and respect for citizens’ rights.
