Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The national police spokesperson is calling on motorists to report incidents of harassment by traffic police officers directly to the law enforcement authority after a viral video emerged of an officer exchanging blows with a motorist.<\/p>\n

The footage of a physical fight between a traffic police officer and a car driver in Juba was widely shared on social media.<\/p>\n

Police Spokesperson Major General Daniel Justin said the incident and several others have prompted a call on motorists and public to report any unscrupulous and undisciplined traffic police officers for swift action.<\/p>\n

General Justin assured the public that any reported cases of harassment would be taken seriously and promptly addressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am urging our people to please report these cases to us because the law is very clear, our directives are very clear, and we started to taking measures against them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo days, there was a fight shared on social media where one of traffic police was fighting a civilian, so in our morning parade before deployment we talked to them that you are there to serve our people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Justin assured that the authorities will take appropriate measures in ensuring justice prevails.<\/p>\n

\u201cReporting will give us chance of implementing the law because most of cases claims are just said nobody is coming up and we are urging people to please come up because otherwise it is a joint responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYour part is to report, and the other part is for us to implement the law, because nobody above the law.\u201d<\/p>\n
