Tuesday, April 28, 2026 - The Nigeria Police Force has launched an investigation into a viral video showing a man dressed in police attire driving a commercial bus in Lagos while allegedly threatening to kill passengers and dump their bodies in a river.
The incident, which reportedly occurred near Eko Bridge, was
captured in a video showing the driver, wearing a police T-shirt and cap,
exchanging words with passengers.
One passenger said, “You talk say you want to kill. You see
wetin Nigeria police dey do. You dey follow full bus argue. You wan put us for
water.”
Some of the passengers threatened to record him and post it
online, while the man replied, “See my face.”
According to an account of the incident posted by X user
Oyindamola on Monday, the driver became aggressive when passengers questioned
the sudden stop of the bus.
“We were literally dropped in the middle of the road because
the driver wanted to buy fuel, without any proper explanation or concern for
our safety. When people understandably began to question what was going on,
instead of calming the situation, he became aggressive and started issuing
threats, saying he would kill us and dump our bodies into the water near Eko
Bridge,” the post read.
Reacting on Tuesday, the NPF New Media Officer, CSP Aliyu
Giwa, confirmed that the Force is reviewing the footage.
Giwa noted that while the man was wearing items labelled
“NPF/Police,” he was not in standard police uniform. He added that the
individual’s status as a serving police officer is yet to be verified.
“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 labelled ‘NPF/Police.’ His status
as a serving officer remains unconfirmed.
“Such behaviour is unprofessional, and any conduct that
threatens or intimidates citizens is unacceptable,” Giwa said.
He added, “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.”
