The traffic officer reportedly stopped the private vehicle of the DPO , unbeknownst to her that the occupant was a senior officer, which resulted in Mr . Onwu giving her the beating of her life for her effrontery .

Bello , who has once been recommended for national honours by former President Olusegun Obasanjo for her dedication to duty , reported the matter at the state police command headquarters .

It was learnt that Mr . Arase got wind of the incident through news reports and called the Ogun State Commissioner of Police , Mr . Abdulmajid Ali .
Following the confirmation of the incident by CP Ali , the IGP ordered that Onwu be demoted to a Deputy Superintendent of Police ( DSP ) from Superintendent of Police ( SP ).

The police IG also ordered that the DPO ’s file be transferred to the Force Headquarters , Abuja , so further disciplinary actions can be taken .
