Mr. Frank Mba, the force Public Relations officer, named the dismissed Sergeant as Lucky Orji. He stated that the Nigerian Police Force has carried out their investigations and dismissed him accordingly.
According to Mr Mba, the Sergeant is among the 13 persons to be charged to court on Wednesday.
The dismissed police officer and another officer were alleged to have stumbled upon the angry mob beating the students, Mba said. “The officers were not even sent to the scene, he went on his own, outside the code of conduct and professional ethics of the job. One was professional to ask the mob to stop and the other asked them to continue,” the force PRO added.
He said the fact that the police is prepared to prosecute the officer, is a measure of its resolve to put an end to all forms of impunity in the Nigerian Police.
