Police Identify Officer in Viral Video Making Ethnic Remarks About Peter Obi
The Nigeria Police Force says it has identified an officer seen in a viral video making ethnic and political remarks about Peter Obi while wearing his uniform. In the video, the officer allegedly claimed that an Igbo person could not become Nigeria’s president and made several unverified allegations against Obi. Passengers in the vehicle reportedly challenged his remarks. The Force Public Relations Officer said the officer had been identified and that the public would be updated. The police have not yet disclosed his name or confirmed whether disciplinary action has begun. The video has renewed concerns about ethnic prejudice, political neutrality and professional conduct among serving security personnel ahead of the 2027 elections.
