‘BLACK-AXE’ POLICEMAN DEMOTED TO CONSTABLE
By Adeola Abdullah
The Nigeria Police Force has approved the punishment of reduction in rank from Corporal to Constable for Isaac Mathew attached to Ebonyi State Police Command.
The officer was caught in a viral TikTok video on May 7, 2022, dressed in full Police uniform while singing, dancing and brandishing an AK47 rifle in praise of a secret confraternity.
This decision follows the outcome of the Orderly Room Trial of the concerned officer and a review of the recommended punishment for the offences of Discreditable Conduct, Promoting Secret Cults and violation of the Social Media Policy (SMP) of the Nigeria Police Force.
In a press release signed by the Acting Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, he said that the Force is currently looking into many other disciplinary cases of unprofessionalism and misconduct by officers in encounters with members of the public.
“Meanwhile, orderly room trials are ongoing and decisions reached at the end of such trials will be made known as the current police administration is committed to a transparent, accountable and proactive policing system in Nigeria”
