A man in Nigeria was mistakenly rounded up during a police raid intended to remove mentally ill and homeless individuals from the streets. Videos circulating online show him desperately trying to defend his sanity and explain that he is not mentally unstable. He repeatedly made his case in Yoruba, pleading with the officers to understand that he was simply going about his day when they wrongfully profiled and detained him.

Although the clip has triggered humorous reactions across social media, many people have pointed out that the situation is far from funny when viewed from the man’s perspective. Being wrongly identified, humiliated, and taken away without a chance to properly explain himself is an experience no one would want to endure.

The incident has sparked widespread outrage, with Nigerians urging law enforcement to adopt proper verification methods during such operations to prevent innocent citizens from being detained. The man was filmed sitting on the ground amongst the mentally ill men and desperately trying to explain himself in Yoruba dialect.

My brother, the guy go swear tire.. nobody go believe am... Even the more he explains the more he complicate the issues

If he looks mentally ill, then he is mentally ill. Just yet to fully manifest.

Old news
Nairaland and recycling na 5 & 6

He go explain Taya.
I am yet to see any mad man agree that he is mad.
The more they argue actively and try to convince you that they are not mad the more they begin to manifest the symptoms of high level chronic madness.

What if you're a mechanic or returning from farm? Just saying.

The man will explain tire.

You go explain taya. No be Nigerian police again.

Gross violation of his rights. Wrongly cateforized, stigmatized and then videoed. The police was unprofessional.

Where did they picked him from. That was what matters

Why did he dress like that then. But another thing is what are they going to do with the rest of them? Go and dump them in another states. When I went to delta state mentally people everywhere. Mostly youths. Delta state government needs to help them and clean up the cities.

There was a comedy joke. And most people thought it can't be possible.

You go explain tire

No evidence

There is something called "work clothes".

My uncles were farmers and mechanics, some even bricklayers... You wouldn't guess except you saw them at work or holding their tools after work.

So, that's not a tenable excuse.

I tell you.
To be raided alongside that type of people shows he actually looks like them.

But we're not talking about your uncles. We're talking about what commonly obtains in this society. Yeah, I also had an uncle who wore a shirt and tie when going to the farm and changed into farm clothes when he got there. But we also know how most farmers and mechanics around here use to do, right?

As him they explain them go they laugh say this one na grade 2 madness

If you behave like a mad man you will be treated as 1.these are some of the social nuisances we have today making our streets and communities unsafe. Na so some of them go dey form madness so that they can scout every street and neighbourhood so they can know where to commit crime an run.they must give him injection they're giving mad people and chain him with mad people

The ine at his back be like "Egbon, stop lying.., you know we are all madt and we are sleeping together tonight"..
