The Nigeria Police Force says its officer captured in a viral video where the Nigeria’s local currency, naira was abused has been identified and detained.

DAILY POST reports that a video clip that captured the officer alongside a businessman, identified simply as Chief Okoya, recently went viral.

In the video, the officer was sighted giving aide to the businessman while the currency was being abused.

NPF in a terse statement on its official Facebook page on Friday said the officer has been taken into custody for subsequent disciplinary action.

The post reads, “The policeman captured in the recent viral video shared by the sons of the lagos businessman, Chief Okoya, where they were abusing the naira, has been identified and detained for disciplinary action.

“The involvement of the policeman has been condemned, as it’s unethical.

“We will always strive hard to uphold the sanctity, credibility, and core values of the police”.

Meanwhile, it is unclear if the primary suspect has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

This Is Trending Update Right Now In Nigeria

Another scape goat to remind Nigerians that the law is still very much active in 2025

Police has done their job, next is efcc to do their job

If the police officer knows his work... he should be the one to arrest the dude in the first place. But he didn't. Rather, he joined him. The only offence you commit being a Nigerian is to be poor.

Doesnt matter now as he himself has been arrested

Yesterday, I saw a thread on one U.S police who rap*d a prisoner or whatever, i glanced through and didnt see this kinda logic twisting comment of yours on that thread

I guess you all worship foreigners so much you'd never dare say shii when they misbehave but you suddenly become a philosopher when it happens in Nigeria and yea, I know you are based in Europe yourself

I Dey suspect u to b same person as madamvanessa

Alright.

Even the Okoyas should not be exonerated.
They should also trace & prosecute bankers involved in the racket of selling mint Naira for people to abuse.

Good

They arrested the Policeman but not Okoya's son..Moral of the story is "HAVE MONEY".

Good job. So when will the Okoyas be arrested?
Or it's just another case of making scape goat of the poor.

Poor paying for the sins of the rich

E remain those that drive against traffic (one way) and those the beat traffic light. I believe even IGP will arrest himself

I hereby sentence the Police officer to 70,000 lashes of Koboko laden with chilly pepper and 9 months community service to sweep and mop the CBN headquarters daily

What of Okoya's sons, who are the main culprits. Nigeria my country. No where in the world do we see security men doing personal body gaurds for private individuals.

Nigeria Police was designed to serve the rich and oppress the poor.

Tell me why a policeman will act as a servant to a rich man and the same policeman will oppress a poor man.

Another comedy skit, what about the ones at checkpoints that do it every day?

If you believe this then all humans are immortal

Selective law. Prison for don full for this xmas naa

Scapegoatcian.
Logically, the arrests should be the policeman and the money spender. Why arrest who appeared to be errand boy and leave the sender.
