ADAMAWA POLICE DETAIN FOUR OFFICERS OVER ALLEGED EXCESSIVE FORCE DURING SUSPECT ARREST

he Adamawa State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of four officers following allegations of misconduct during a recent arrest in Fufore Local Government. The officers faced severe backlash after a viral video showed them allegedly using excessive force, including firing shots into the air, which caused public outrage and concerns over police brutality.

The police immediately responded by detaining the officers and promising a thorough investigation, led by the IGP’s X Squad, to determine if their actions violated standard protocols. The police chief emphasized that discipline and professionalism are paramount and assured that appropriate disciplinary actions would be enforced if misconduct is proven. This incident underscores the ongoing challenges of police accountability and the need for reform in Nigeria’s law enforcement agencies to restore public trust.
