There is widespread outrage after a disturbing video reportedly showed a police officer in Delta State shooting a restrained, unarmed man at close range, an incident that has gone viral on social media.
The video, which surfaced online, allegedly shows operatives of the Effurun Area Command of the Nigeria Police Force handling a suspect who was already restrained before one officer opened fire, killing him instantly.
Eyewitness accounts and circulating clips suggest the suspect had been handcuffed or restrained on the ground while pleading with officers before the shooting occurred, sparking immediate public anger and condemnation online.
Authorities have reportedly responded by arresting the officer involved, with the case now under internal disciplinary and investigative review, as public pressure mounts for accountability.
The incident has intensified concerns about police brutality and extrajudicial killings in Nigeria, with many calling for a full and transparent investigation and possible prosecution of those involved.
