In a jaw-dropping video that’s exploding across social media, a serving Nigerian policeman has unleashed a terrifying tirade, vowing to gun down anyone who dares film him on duty — even threatening to massacre an entire busload of innocent passengers.…....
The officer, identified as Newton Isokpehi, a 26-year veteran reportedly stationed in Awka, Anambra State, can be heard screaming in the clip: “I will kill you. Allah! If you are inside bus, I will kill you and everyone in that bus. Na IGP Disu go bury una and nothing go happen. Try me!”
The outburst, which surfaced on Wednesday and has since gone mega-viral, shows the policeman in uniform boasting about being “full of bullets” while daring citizens and even his superiors to challenge him.
Nigerians online are not holding back, with many calling the officer “psychologically unfit” and a “criminal in uniform.” Activist and social commentator Charles Awuzie announced he is forwarding the video directly to top police brass, slamming it as open defiance of IGP Tunji Olatunji Disu’s directives allowing citizens to record officers.
This latest incident comes amid heightened scrutiny of the Nigeria Police Force, with recent cases of alleged brutality and misconduct drawing national outrage. Many are questioning how such officers continue to serve, especially after repeated warnings from the IGP against unlawful behavior.
As calls mount for immediate investigation, dismissal, and prosecution, the big question on everyone’s lips is: Will IGP Disu live up to his tough stance on rogue elements, or will this threat — invoking the IGP’s name as a shield — be swept under the carpet like so many before it?
The video has sparked fresh debates about police reform, citizen rights to film, and the culture of impunity in the force. One thing is clear: Nigerians are watching, recording, and demanding accountability.Stay tuned as this story develops. What do you think should happen to this officer? Drop your thoughts below.
