The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) says it has apprehended
police officers assaulting a woman in a viral video.
In the video, which trended on Friday, the police officer
carrying a rifle assaulted the woman and fired a shot to scare her.
“You dey mad, I be your mate, I will kill you,” the police
officer, in pidgin English, while trying to slap the woman.
A man behind the scene warned the police officer not to assault the woman, asking other officers not to ignore the action of their colleague.
Here is the video of the incident:
