Reacting on Tuesday, the NPF New Media Officer, CSP Aliyu Giwa, confirmed that the Force is reviewing the footage.

He wrote

‘’Our attention has been drawn to a video circulating online concerning the alleged actions of an individual in Lagos.

 

Initial observations show the individual is not in a standard police uniform but is wearing items labeled “NPF/Police.” His status as a serving officer remains unconfirmed.

 

Such behaviour is unprofessional, and any conduct that threatens or intimidates citizens is unacceptable.

 

We encourage anyone with credible information to assist in identifying the individual by contacting the nearest police station or using official Nigeria Police Force channels.

 

The matter is under review, and appropriate action will be taken based on the established facts.”
