A police inspector identified as Sunday Idey, has been arrested by operatives of the police special unit, Operation Doo Akpor, in Bayelsa State, for allegedly brutalising his three children over allegations of witchcraft. The inspector, who is attached to the Anti-Cultism unit of the Igbogene police unit, allegedly assaulted his children at the weekend over allegations of being members of a witchcraft group. The Commissioner of Police in Bayelsa State, CP Francis Idu, who confirmed the incident on Friday, said the officer had been arrested and that an investigation into the matter was ongoing. The incident has sparked outrage across Yenagoa, Bayelsa State capital, as many residents expressed shock over how the police officer allegedly turned against his own children. According to eyewitnesses, concerned neighbours who noticed the assault quickly alerted operatives of the Operation Door Akpor, who rescued the brutalised children and took them to a hospital for treatment.
