The Rivers State Police Command has dismissed three officers linked to the alleged killing of Anthony Obodo, a resident of Port Harcourt and graduate of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT).

The Commissioner of Police in the state, Olugbenga Adepoju, announced the dismissal on Wednesday in Port Harcourt while parading the three officers.

According to the police command, the officers were dismissed following investigations into their alleged involvement in Obodo’s death.

The development comes amid public concern over the circumstances surrounding the death of the UNIPORT graduate and calls for accountability over alleged misconduct by security personnel.

Adepoju said the command would continue to ensure that officers found culpable of serious misconduct face appropriate disciplinary measures.

The police commissioner also reiterated the command’s commitment to protecting residents and upholding professionalism in the discharge of its duties.
