A video currently making the rounds on social media has captured the moment some armed policemen assaulted a man, seized his phone, and drove off with his car in the Surulere area of Lagos State.
The incident was said to have occurred on Tuesday, October 1, during Nigeria’s Independence Day celebrations.
Sharing the video on X.com on Thursday, a user identified as #ChuksEricE wrote, “Man captured the moment Nigerian police officers åssåultéd a driver, seized his phone, and later drove off with his car yesterday during the Independence Day celebrations in Surulere, Lagos State.”
The viral footage showed some officers alighting from a burgundy car.

Moments later, one of the policemen entered the victim’s car and drove it away.
Reacting on Thursday, the command’s spokesperson, SP Abimbola Adebisi, tagged the Lagos State Police Complaint Response Unit in to the video on X.
In response, the Lagos CRU wrote, “This is noted for action ma.”
The latest development comes barely two months after the command dissolved one of its tactical squads following a similar incident.
