A post discussing how the police have been acting like criminals on Orchid Road in Lekki sparked outrage online. Many expressed frustration over the increasing misconduct by law enforcement in Nigeria. One particularly harsh comment read, “Uniform men in Nigeria are now same with well-known terrorist groups in the world.”

This comment reflects the deep mistrust and frustration many Nigerians feel toward their security forces. While it’s understandable to be angry about police misconduct, comparing officers to terrorist groups only escalates tensions and undermines constructive dialogue. It’s important to address these issues through calls for accountability and reform, rather than extreme comparisons, in order to foster positive change within the system.
