Some Uniform will just be bringing bad image to their organizations.

Just imagine. Slapping a lady over mere issue.
This is height of harassment against.

I doubt if the policeman will face any sanction.
A senator was filmed doing more than this to a woman and nothing happened.

Nigerian police and assault are like 5&6

They want to know if it actually happened, or if it was a video game?

Men in Black…
It's like this one also has green added to his back…
Don't ask me o! Because I can't waste my data on NPF video matter.
We know them very well.

They just wanted to confirm if it's not scripted, movie scene or a videoshop.
Na your country be that for you bros.

Many Nigerian policemen are poorly trained and uncivilised. They see citizens they're meant to help and protect as enemies. I guess the lady dey vex for police for delaying them, and she started exchanging words with the policeman, culminating to use of abusive words and finally some slaps by the man in uniform.

Wow! It shouldn't have escalated to such an extent as the use of force.
