A video circulating online shows a heated exchange between a handcuffed suspect and Nigerian police officer. The suspect, speaking broken English, threatens the officer that he will deal with him once he leaves their custody.

He said: “If I come back I go change am for you. I go serve 1 year, I go come out, I no wetin I go do to you and your family. Na Nigerian we dey.
He continues on to say his “Officer no worry my men go come for me and they go release me.
The officer responds that he will “check up on” the suspect every morning, seeming to unfazed by threats.
The video has sparked online debates regarding its authenticity, with some suggesting it may be a skit, while others believe it portrays a real interaction.
The confident tone of the suspect’s threats underscores systemic issues and highlights the failure of the justice system to reform individuals during their incarceration. Instead of promoting rehabilitation, it appears to empower individuals to become more entrenched in criminal behavior.
The Inspector General of Police must address this threat with urgency and severity. The suspect should face full prosecution under the law, in order to discourage copycat offenses from other unrepentant criminals.
This incident represents wider concerns around retaliation against law enforcement officers. More facts are needed to fully understand the context but the video signals gaps in both public safety and the rehabilitation of convicts.
TheNigerialawyer could not verify whether it’s a skit or real and the location where the clip was shot at the time of filing this report.
TheNigerialawyer emphasizes the importance of assigning unique identification numbers or names to every police van and vehicle. This measure is essential for tracking the location and identifying the specific police team involved in any incident. The implementation of clear and visible identification on police vehicles is crucial for accountability and transparency in law enforcement operations.
