Two days ago one female traffic warden Anifat Bello was beaten to stupor by Mr Patrick Onwu, the DPO in charge of Ikenne Police Division, Ogun State.
Her offence – she had the audacity to stop his private vehicle for allegedly disobeying traffic laws.
According to Vanguard, Mr. Onwu, who was on mufti when he allegedly committed the traffic offence, drove into a nearby filling station to change into his police uniform before returning to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, junction on IBB Boulevard way, where the traffic warden was discharging her official duty, and pounced on her.
Well. it will interest you to know that IGP Solomon Arase, has ordered the demotion in rank of the erring Mr Patrick. He also ordered his immediate transfer and ordered the Commissioner of Police to set up an investigative panel on the matter.
The IGP directed the state commissioner to forward the necessary details of the accused officer to the force secretary, Abuja for further disciplinary actions. Onwu, has now been demoted to the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police(DSP) from Superintendent of Police(SP).
