Delta Police Detain Officers Over Brutal Assault on Civilian in Asaba

The Delta State Commissioner of Police has taken swift action following a disturbing incident involving police brutality in Asaba. The officers responsible for the assault have been summoned, with their team leader receiving an official query. Meanwhile, the other members of the unit have been taken into custody and will face an orderly room trial.

The command is calling on members of the public who may have any information about the victim of the assault to come forward. You can reach out via direct message or contact the office of the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO).

Eyewitnesses report that the incident occurred along Hospital Road in Asaba. The victim was reportedly stopped by police officers for a search. When one of the officers attempted to inspect his bag, the man insisted that the search be done transparently and asked the officer to show his hands to ensure nothing was planted. This request allegedly triggered a violent response, leading to a brutal beating by the officers.
