The two policemen caught on video fighting will be arrested, investigated and dismissed, the Force headquarters has said.
The Force Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel Ojukwu, told our correspondent over the telephone on Sunday that the men would face orderly room trial for their conduct.
Ojukwu said, “We have seen the video and I can tell you that the men would be identified and apprehended to face disciplinary action. They will face orderly room trial and they will be dismissed,” he stated.
An online video of the two policemen had provoked criticisms from Nigerians who flayed their conduct.
The video, which was uploaded to YouTube on Friday by Sharebitmag with the caption, “Two Nigeria police caught fighting in Lagos,” showed the incident took place at the entrance of a bank.
In the two-minute clip, a mobile policeman was seen in uniform sitting on top of his colleague while delivering blows on him.
Though the video did not show how the brawl began, the second policemen appeared to have been floored, as he did not return any of the punches.
A bottle of an alcohol beverage, Alomo Bitters, was seen on the ground next to the men.
