BREAKING: IGP Tunji Disu Gives Update On Officers Arrested In Viral Lagos Harassment Video

This is the update Nigeria has been waiting for. The Inspector General of Police, IGP Tunji Rilwan Disu, has officially briefed Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) confirming that three police officers AND the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) from the Satellite Police Division in Lagos are now in custody. Their crime? Harassing two young men during a stop-and-search operation in a viral video that shocked the nation. In the clip, an officer refused to search a bag on the spot, ordered the man to a separate location, and later pointed a gun at him while issuing threats. But the IGP did not stop in Lagos. He also revealed that several officers from the anti-culticism squad in Anambra State have been arrested for inappropriate conduct. All arrested officers will be investigated, tried, and the public will receive an update on the outcome. This marks one of the most significant accountability moves by the Nigerian Police Force in recent memory. Arresting a DPO—the commanding officer—sends a powerful message: command responsibility is real, and impunity will no longer be tolerated. Reactions on X (formerly Twitter) have been cautiously optimistic. One user praised the accountability but called for comprehensive police reform, including yearly training and reviews. Another asked whether other officers know their colleagues are being tried—questioning whether the punishment will serve as a true deterrent. A third user celebrated the arrests but demanded action on extortion checkpoints across Ebonyi, Cross River, Benue, and Taraba states, where officers reportedly give change on bribes. Will these officers actually face conviction? Will the IGP extend this crackdown nationwide? Watch the full video to see the IGP’s briefing, hear the X reactions, and decide for yourself.
