A Nigerian man has voiced his anger after a police officer allegedly broke into his home without a warrant, scaling the fence and accusing him of involvement in fraud. The incident, captured on video, has sparked widespread outrage and criticism online.
In the viral footage shared on X (formerly Twitter), the man and his neighbors are seen confronting the officers, firmly refusing to open the gate. The situation escalated when one of the officers fired a gunshot before climbing over the fence to gain entry.
Once inside the compound, the officer unlocked the gate, granting access to his colleagues. The video, which has since gained significant traction, has drawn sharp reactions from Nigerians, with many condemning the officers' actions as unlawful and abusive.
Social media users took to the comment section to express their concerns, calling for accountability and proper investigation into the officers’ behavior. Many questioned the legality of entering a private residence without a search warrant and resorting to intimidation tactics.
This incident adds to the growing scrutiny of law enforcement practices in Nigeria, with calls for reforms to ensure the protection of citizens' rights and adherence to due process. Authorities have yet to release an official statement regarding the incident.
