"Not Our Officers": Nigeria Police Clears Air on Oil Scooping Video
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has dismissed claims linking its officers to a viral video showing uniformed personnel in camouflage scooping fuel from a crashed tanker. According to a statement, the individuals seen in the footage are from a neighboring francophone country, as evidenced by their French language and uniforms resembling, but not identical to, those of the NPF.
The Force condemned the circulation of unverified content designed to tarnish its image, emphasizing that such disinformation undermines public trust and has broader negative implications.
Reiterating its commitment to professionalism, discipline, and public safety, the NPF urged Nigerians to verify information before dissemination, fostering unity and protecting institutional credibility.
