The video of the Policemen beating the six victims for stealing power surfaced on the internet and has since gone viral.
The Police have since the video surfacing on the internet has interdicted the four Policemen who will be subject to investigation.
Meanwhile, it has emerged that an officer of NEDCO/VRA took the said video and posted it on their WhatsApp group after which the video miraculously found itself on other social media platforms.
