The outrage over the Benin incident continued to ripple across social media after reports that a police truck escorting a bullion van used knives to burst the tires of a civilian car just to force its way through traffic. The reckless abuse of power nearly led to a public lynching, as furious residents confronted the officers involved. Many Nigerians condemned the act as dangerous, unlawful, and emblematic of deeper systemic problems within law enforcement.
Another comment captured the public’s anger, though in a harsh and sweeping way: “Nigeria Police always behaving like some demon possessed touts.”
While the remark reflects widespread frustration with police misconduct, critics argue that such blanket insults oversimplify a complex institution. The comment underscores how repeated incidents of abuse have eroded public trust, fueling rhetoric that paints the entire force as lawless rather than pushing for accountability, reform, and professional standards.
