Three police officers have been dismissed by the Rivers State Police Command following the killing of a University of Port Harcourt graduate, Anthony Obodo, in Port Harcourt last Thursday. Inspector Solomon Nworgu, who escaped the scene after the shooting, has been declared a deserter, with efforts underway to apprehend him. The incident occurred when the patrol team attempted to stop Obodo's vehicle, but one of the officers, Corporal Alfred Louis, allegedly opened fire, resulting in Obodo's death.
The officers were found guilty during an orderly room trial and have been dismissed from the Nigeria Police Force, facing court charges. The police commissioner, Olugbenga Adepoju, emphasized the command's commitment to professionalism, accountability, and respect for human rights.
