While Inspector Michael Odey, one of the officers, had already been dismissed, the other two, ASP Doubara Edonyabor and ASP Talent Mungo, have been suspended from office.
The Rivers State Police Public Relations Officer, Grace Iringe-Koko, disclosed this in a statement today.
Grace Iringe-Koko said both officers have been officially suspended following approval from the Police Service Commission, PSC.
According to the statement, while the salaries of the implicated officers have been suspended, they will face the Force Disciplinary Committee, which is responsible for addressing disciplinary issues involving senior officers.
