Mopol Beaten by Other Police Officers for Preventing them from Collecting BRIBE.
Corporal
James Ameh was almost beaten to death by six policemen from Elimgbu
Divisional Police Headquarters, Port Harcourt, in Obio/Akpor Local
Government Area of Rivers State last Thursday because he challenged them
for forcibly extorting N5, 000 bribe from a commercial driver,
investigations have revealed.
Ameh of
the Police Mobile Force (PMF) 56 based in Ogoni in Rivers State is
lying critically in a hospital in Port-Harcourt from injuries arising
from the assault.The six policemen, it was learnt, have been detained
and are likely to be charged to court next week to serve as deterrent to
others. The six plain-clothed policemen were angry with Ameh for having
the effrontery to challenge them for forcibly extorting the money from
the driver of the bus, which he boarded.
It was learnt the
driver of the bus boarded by the victim from his Ogoni base kept
pleading with the policemen that he did not have the N5, 000 they
demanded since he did not contravene any traffic regulation.The
passengers, it was gathered, became agitated over the attitude of the
six policemen, prompting the victim to alight and speak with his
colleagues. Rather than reasoning with him, the six police officers
descended on him. Ameh was beaten to coma and sustained spinal cord
injuries. His uniform was torn and he fell to a deep drain near Eleme
Junction on Port Harcourt-Aba Expressway.
The victim was
initially rushed to the police clinic before he was moved to a bigger
facility, owing to the severity of his injuries.
....woooow!!!!
