Sergeant rushed to hospital after beating from DPO

The Commissioner of Police, Umar Manko has invited the Divisional Police Offier (DPO), in charge of MAN centre Police Station, for beating one of his sergeants almost to the point of death.

The DPO, Mr. Jimoh Aliu, a Superintendent of Police, was said to have attacked Sergeant John Ismaila, with a view to discipline him for coming late to office, but the discipline went awry.

Aliu was said to have pounced on Ismaila without waiting to hear an explanation for his unusual lateness to office.

The DPO was said to have beaten the sergeant until he started bleeding from his ears. He then ordered that the sergeant be locked up in the cell.

The sergeant was said to have fainted on a pool of his blood inside the cell and rushed to Ikeja General Hospital, where doctors revived him.

The DPO insisted that he was just trying to “discipline the erring sergeant and he’ll face an orderly room trial.”
