A video circulating on social media has sparked outrage after showing what appears to be a violent confrontation in Edo State, during which civilians overpowered and assaulted uniformed police officers.
The footage shared by Instablog9ja on Monday captures a chaotic scene involving several young men and bystanders surrounding police officers dressed in camouflage uniforms with high-visibility vests. One civilian is seen repeatedly attacking a male police officer despite efforts by another officer and some bystanders to stop the assault.
The video also shows a female police officer attempting to intervene before she was allegedly attacked by another male civilian, who pushed her to the ground. She was eventually helped up by a female colleague.
The circumstances leading to the confrontation could not be immediately established.
The incident has generated widespread reactions on X, with many users condemning the assault and warning of possible legal consequences for those involved.
