As the Nigerian Police continues to overhaul the system, another bad egg in the Force has been shown the exit door.
Liyomo Okoi, a policeman with the Nigerian Police Force, has been fired after appearing in a July viral video lashing a guy with a machete.
In the viral footage, Okoi assaulted the man with a cutlass while holding his rifle and yelling, "He threatened me."
In a statement released on Monday, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the force's spokesperson, stated:
"The Force has dismissed Force No. 524503 PC Liyomo Okoi attached to Ekori Divisional Headquarters, Cross Rivers Police Command for gross misconduct captured in a viral video on 31st July 2022 where he was flogging a man with a machete. His dismissal takes effect from today, the 8th of August, 2022.”
