(Video) Nigerians call for DPO Obioma O. Obi to be sacked over assault on a peaceful protester

A DPO of the Nigerian Police has landed himself in a big mess after he failed to control his anger during a peaceful protest to end SARS in Imo State today.

Obioma O. Obi is a DPO at Orji Police station in Imo State. In the video, DPO Obioma is seen as he punches a female protester in her face. He continued as he tried to pull the trigger on the protesters with his service pistol.

Nigerians have taken to their various social media platforms to call for the immediate dismissal of DPO Obioma after his actions went viral.

Reactions:

@Miliflames: “Obioma O. Obi is the force behind the killing of innocent youths in Nigeria and he must be jobless by the end of the month and in Jesus name.”

@gbengasesan: “The promises of the Inspector General of Police are empty until acts like this become impossible. If Obioma O. Obi of @PoliceNG holds on to his job until end of day tomorrow, then it confirms what we know – – everything the Nigerian Government promised on #EndSARS is a lie.”

@victorIssrael: “I hope Runtown and Falz can see what an officer almost did to a peaceful protesters in Owerri. 

Officer Obioma O. Obi must be sacked from our police force.”

Obioma O. Obi assaulted and wanted to shoot protesters in Imo state as against what IGP mandated.
Some people cannot be fixed, you have to cast them out.
