Nigerian Youth Warns Against Using Phones to Intimidate Police Officers

In a viral video, a young Nigerian argues that pulling out your phone to record police officers has become an unhealthy trend. He acknowledges that under IGP Disu, rogue officers face quicker discipline, but says this should not give civilians license to harass officers doing their jobs. He points out that many people now film officers immediately on sight, sometimes without any provocation, hoping to scare them into dropping duties. He stresses that a camera should not be viewed as a threat that forces officers to let suspects go free. Reminding viewers that police are public servants—not slaves—he urges citizens to engage respectfully and responsibly, even as the force continues reforms against misconduct.
