Edafe explained that the duo had on Aug. 12, assaulted one Mr Brodrick Omesan, a tricycle operator in Warri South Local Government Area of the state.

“On Aug. 12, after close of work, the officers conspired and engaged in Illegal duty on the Estate Roundabout, Warri.

“They accosted a Tricycle rider, one Omesan. An argument ensued between the policemen and the victim and they allegedly pushed and beat him up which led to serious injuries on his head.

“The victim was rushed to the hospital where he is currently receiving treatment.

“The CP immediately ordered the case to be transferred to the State Criminal Investigative Department for discreet and unbiased investigation.

“Investigation later revealed that the two officers have a case to answer on the serious assault on the victim, who is still in critical condition.

“The CP again ordered that they should face the internal disciplinary action and the command provost was directed to try them for the offence of incivility to members of the public.
