The Rivers State Police Command has dismissed three of its officers linked to the killing of a graduate of the University of Port Harcourt, Anthony Obodo, along Ada George in Port Harcourt last Thursday.

Also, the command said a member of the team, an inspector who fled after the shooting of the victim, has been declared a deserter.

The State Commissioner of Police, Olugbenga Adepoju, disclosed this while parading the three officers before newsmen in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.

Recall that a police team reportedly flagged down Anthony Obodo at the Ada George axis of Agip junction in Port Harcourt last Thursday, even as one of them identified as Corporal Alfred Louis fired three shots in Anthony’s direction on allegations that he refused to stop, leading to his death.
