A prison officer at HMP Thameside, Isa Bangura, has pleaded guilty to assault after he used excessive force in self-defence during an attack by an inmate. Bangura, 34, admitted that he kicked inmate Emmanuel Nyeko in the head on December 4, 2020, following an altercation.
During the incident, Bangura had opened Nyeko’s cell door to deliver his dinner when the inmate unexpectedly threw a punch at him, causing Bangura to bleed from the mouth. In response, Bangura defended himself with punches before Nyeko was restrained by other prison officers.
