The Nigeria Police Force on Friday dismissed six officers attached
to Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, Premium Times reports.
They were dismissed over alleged professional misconducts during
legislative rerun elections that held in the oil-rich state last year,
the spokesperson for the force said.
The six dismissed cops are an inspector, Eyong Victor; and five
sergeants, Peter Ekpo, Oguni Goodluck, Orji Nwoke, Tanko Akor and Okpe
Ezekiel.
The spokesperson for the police, Don Awunah, who paraded them in
Abuja on Friday disclosed that they misused firearms and sabotaged the
Independent National Electoral Commission while on the side of Mr. Wike
during a collation exercise in Port Harcourt.
Mr. Awunah said they acted contrary to the stipulation of Force
Order 237 and strict warning issued by the Inspector General of Police,
Idris Ibrahim.
He said: “These aforementioned police personnel while in the
convoy of the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, on the date of
election on December 10, 2016 misused the firearms in their possession
contrary to the provisions of Force Order 237.
“The personnel became overzealous, took laws into their hands and opened fire, causing panic in the crowd.
“They joined in storming the Port Harcourt City Council
Secretariat and prevented the movement of election results of Emouha
polling unit to the appropriate collation centre designated by INEC, in
flagrant disregard and disobedience to senior police officers present at
the venue.”
He added that the officials, who were handcuffed as they were
paraded, were eventually dismissed from the police force after
subjecting them to internal disciplinary measures wherein they were
found culpable.
“They will be prosecuted under the Electoral Act to serve as deterrent to others.
“Their actions are capable of bringing the entire Nigeria
Police Force to disrepute and portray the Force in a very bad light as a
lawless organisation not guided by the rule of law,” Mr. Awunah said.
The December 10 electoral exercise was marred by widespread
violence and irregularities. At least two police officers were killed
during the election.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, INEC said a total 61 electoral offenders
have been successfully prosecuted since 2015 with the cooperation of the
police.
