He was also seen beating and slapping the hapless man while the other officers looked in approving manner.

The chief culprit inspector Adejoh Siaka, got his rank reduced from Inspector to Sergeant while another officer, Sergeant Ndiwa Kpuebari who was also present at the scene was severely reprimanded.

The only officer that escaped the sledge-hammer was Inspector Friday Obaka, who was later discovered to have been absent from the scene of the skirmish and was accordingly discharged unconditionally at the conclusion of the proceedings.
