A Nigeria Police Force officer has been arrested following a viral video that captured him verbally assaulting a young man in the Gwarimpa area of Abuja.
The footage, which circulated widely on social media, shows the officer confronting the man, who explained that he was only trying to mediate a dispute involving his neighbour. The officer, however, accused him of being disrespectful and threatened to take him to the “area command.”
The video sparked outrage and the Police Complaint Response Unit confirmed via a post on their official X (formerly Twitter) handle that the officer had been arrested.
The unit also called on the victim to visit their office and provide additional details to aid further investigation.
The Police unit, while reacting, wrote on X: “The officer in the viral video have been identified and arrested, the authorities concerned have been contacted. We encourage the complainant (victim) to come forward for further investigation. Thank you.”
