A video has captured the moment an officer of the Nigeria Police Force, NPF, was harassing a man in the Gwarimpa area of Abuja.
The viral video shows the officer verbally abusing the young man, who claimed he was only trying to support his neighbour during a dispute.
The officer alleged that the man insulted him, which is why he ordered the man to follow 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.”
