The sergeant was dismissed for ordering the mob to kill the students.
Mr. Frank Mba, the Force Public Relations Officer, while speaking yesterday on Channels TV, named the dismissed sergeant as Lucky Orji. He stated that the Nigeria Police Force had carried out their investigations and dismissed the 'named' sergeant.
Mba said the dismissed police officer and another officer were alleged to have stumbled upon the angry mob beating the students.
