Civilian Confronts Police Over Smoking, Colleague Tries To Stop Filming by Glimpsetv(op): 3:33pm On Sep 05
A confrontation between a civilian and Nigerian police officers has sparked reactions online after a civilian accused a police officer of behaving unusually and allegedly smoking what he described as “colos.”

According to the account presented in the video, the civilian initially began filming after the officer allegedly harassed him. As the encounter continued, he reportedly noticed that the officer’s behaviour appeared abnormal, prompting him to keep his camera rolling.

The civilian then confronted the officer, questioning why a law enforcement officer would allegedly engage in such behaviour. He further suggested that the officer appeared to be under the influence of whatever he had allegedly smoked.

The situation became more heated when another police officer intervened and attempted to stop the civilian from filming his colleague. The civilian, however, questioned why the officer was now intervening to protect his colleague when he had not stepped in earlier, while the same colleague was allegedly embarrassing him during the confrontation.

The exchange eventually turned physical, with the men seen arguing and jostling as bystanders watched.

The video, shared on X by @dammiedammie35 on September 4, has attracted hundreds of thousands of views and generated debate over the conduct of the officers, particularly the attempt to prevent the civilian from documenting the encounter.

Tinubu has finished what is remaining of Nigeria and I'm surprised that some people are urging him to continue.


Anyway, had I known has always been the final statement.

His addiction has definitely caught up with him. He will be disciplined and perhaps dismissed. Police force is looking for scape goats due to several complaints from Nigerians. They won't allow something like this to slide.

Stop exposing your illiteracy!

How did the demigod- His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) get into the matter?

Cease and desist from tarnishing the image of the demigod.

Exactly!

Is that you singing? You need more exposure and quality studio. That's a good beginning of that's you.
Not mine, and the last 2 from other Singers are also very awesome. Actually, I was pleasantly shocked when I discovered that many Nigerians have joined the new Worldwide Trend of using The Supreme NAME Our CREATOR in their Music Productions to wake People up to the real Strong Towers spoken of in the Scripture. Obviously, satan has has always been afraid of Humans using the Supreme NAME, he succeeded in deceiving the past Generations of Humanity after Adam to abandon the Supreme Name too till Enoch was born, Scripture says "Then Men(Humanity), started calling on the One and Only Supreme NAME of our CREATOR." He soon did it again till, HE Came to still reveal same NAME to Moses, yet by the Time we arrived here he has again almost gotten Humanity to completely abandoned the Only NAME that Our CREATOR warned us to ensure our Children keep in memory to use in Praying to HIM, HE further emphatically "This is My NAME unto All Generations of Humanity!"

This is a very big insult to the police force.
Officer high on colos on duty.
Damn it...
What if he's not on duty?
This is a ticking time bomb.
He should be arrested immediately to serve as deterrent.

I hear that some police no longer arrest the youths for yahoo yahoo but rather search for hard drugs and once they find any, they extort them and if you don’t cooperate, detention straight. I ask what do they do with the “exhibits” sef?

Let me shock you . I don't know about other states .
But here in Lagos , let me be fair to them ....90% of police in Lagos are either smoking marijuana , other drugs and always high on cheap alcohol.

Re: Civilian Confronts Police Over Smoking, Colleague Tries To Stop Filming by princepee(m): 6:41pm On Sep 06
Very risky thing to do....
This officers can shoot for no reason and tag you an armed robber.

Very corrupt set of people.
Hope the authorities will take this up.
Re: Civilian Confronts Police Over Smoking, Colleague Tries To Stop Filming by Mathewrichard99: 6:49pm On Sep 06
That civilian is my hero. He really tried exposing the druggy policeman. Same police man in that condition with AK47 will kill anyone without even a thought. Though I didn't see the tag number....hopefully the police big boss wiuld be able to track the policeman and do the expected justice.....

You know when you hate someone due to your own laziness Nd unspirited effort to make a good life for you and your family. You will always blame the government of the day. If you can't do the do with your wife, it's the government. If you over drink and stagger into gutter, it's the government of the day. Such people wouldn't ever hustle or leave their comfort zone but deliberately subjected themselves to poverty of the mind and soul.....don't mind them Jaweh....

Very terrible.

I don't know if you know Freedom Park on Lagos island close to St Nicholas hospital.
There is a police station called Lion building close to the park .


I got to the park relax , at night I do see police hanging around Brook street , the street is just back of Lion building can you imagine? getting high on cheap alcohol. Sometime around Campus and Ajele street .
All these are in proximity to their station .
No one can tell me , that their ogas are not aware.

That's what we learned from Tinubu when PDP was in power.


Why are you angry with us for being a good learner?


You never start to complain self.
