Mr Edafe said the officers, “in the embarrassing video have been identified and arrested,” adding that, “they appeared before the CP today.”
The police spokesperson stated that two of the operatives, “who are senior officers have been queried while the two inspectors have been detained and awaiting an orderly room trial.”
