It's disheartening as officers charged with the responsibility of law enforcement would never continually cease to serve the general public with the unsavoury dish of opprobrium across the nation.
Last two nights witnessed the public display of shame at Eleme in Port Harcourt as a police officer by name, James Ameh was beaten to coma by six of his colleagues. Eye witness account recorded that at about 7 pm on Thursday evening, James Ameh was in a commercial bus when suddenly about six Policemen stopped the vehicle, ordering the driver to hand over the key to them. They said he had flouted traffic rule at about 7pm when he picked a passenger in the area.
The driver who did not want to waste time allegedly alighted from his vehicle to negotiate with the Policemen who insisted he must part with five thousand naira. At this point, the Mobile Policeman, James Ameh who was reportedly on the front seat with the Bus driver had to come down to appeal to his colleagues to let the driver go for his sake.
The Policemen were allegedly uncomfortable with his role in the whole drama. And one of them had to push him, telling him to get off their way. Before the Mobile Policeman could even regain balance, the six Policemen reportedly started raining slaps at him from all sides. In the heat of the ugly drama, the anti riot policeman allegedly slumped.
