A video circulating online has drawn widespread anger over what many are calling unprofessional behavior by Nigerian police officers. In the footage, the officers reportedly intimidated, harassed, and insulted a citizen who had done nothing wrong.
The individual, who was stopped at a checkpoint, requested to be searched beside his car instead of following the officers to another location. In response, one officer allegedly threatened:
“You want make them lose guard you”
Many viewers described this as an outright threat, highlighting the excessive and unwarranted aggression from the officers.
Reactions online included:
“Na becus Una no know Una rights as car owners”
“And their children will also call these stoopid men best dad in the world”
“Follow him to where? The place they stood is called check point for a reason. Why dragging them to an unknown destination?”
“Just see the criminals, they took them from the road to a hidden place where they can be easily harassed, now see others lined up there too. If this wasn’t recorded, you wouldn’t believe these touts in uniform are doing this illegal work, giving the good ones a bad name.”
“Can they just kill all these animals? They are waste to humanity. Scum of the earth. The world would be a better place without them. Evil, hungry, empty-headed pigs.”
“‘You wan make them loose guard you’ – see cultists Nigerians are now calling police men 😂😂”
The post has urged social media users to make the officers involved popular by tagging relevant handles, calling attention to their unprofessionalism and alleged abuse of power.
