The Inspector General of Police, IGP Mohammed Adamu, on Thursday ordered the arrest of two policemen caught on video fighting each other in Edo State.
The video clip of the policemen fighting while some people tried to hold them back was shared on Twitter by @parodyspokesman.
A tweet on the verified Twitter handle of the Nigeria Police, on Thursday evening, named the two officers as Corporal Ozimende Aidonojie (F/NO.491112) and Constable Salubi Stephen (F/NO.516384) adding that they were already in detention and facing disciplinary action.

The tweet read: “The two policemen, F/NO 41112 CPL Ozimende Aidonojie and F/NO 516384 PC Salubi Stephen in this viral video have been identified, arrested and detained. They are currently undergoing internal disciplinary sanctions at the Edo State Police Command Headquarters.
“The Force wishes to apprise the general public that this show of shame is certainly not in our character and we will not condone such indiscipline.
“In the best tradition of transparency and accountability, the outcome of the trial will be made public. This, we believe, will also serve as deterrent to other police officers.”
