A disturbing video circulating on social media has sparked outrage after it showed police officers in Bayelsa State brutally assaulting a tricycle (Keke) operator.
In the footage, the officers—reportedly attached to a local police unit—are seen attacking the helpless rider with their rifles, beating him repeatedly while he pleads for mercy. The incident allegedly occurred during a routine stop, though the exact reason for the confrontation remains unclear.
Eyewitnesses claim the assault followed a minor disagreement, which quickly escalated into violence as the officers abandoned professional conduct and resorted to excessive force. The tricycle operator sustained visible injuries, drawing condemnation from members of the public who described the act as inhumane and unlawful.
The video has since triggered widespread reactions online, with Nigerians calling for the immediate identification, arrest, and prosecution of the officers involved. Many have also urged the Nigeria Police Force to take decisive action to curb police brutality and restore public trust.
As of the time of this report, the Bayelsa State Police Command has yet to issue an official statement on the incident. Citizens continue to demand justice for the victim and accountability for the officers caught on camera.
