In a widely circulated video on social media, a group of Nigerian police officers was captured in a high-speed chase, pursuing a group of youths in a "Korope" bus, a scene reminiscent of action movies. This incident occurred in an undisclosed location in Southwest Nigeria.
The video shows a car carrying three young men attempting to evade the armed police officers in the "korope" bus. The driver of the vehicle seemed to believe that the police intended to harm them, prompting their desperate attempt to enter a gated estate for safety.
However, the police officers managed to catch up with the vehicle before it could reach the security gate. A dramatic moment in the video captures the security personnel disembarking from the Korope bus and halting the car just as it was about to enter the gated estate.
As they stopped the vehicle, one of the passengers can be heard questioning the officers about the reason for the dangerous chase and why they were being confronted in what appeared to be an unprofessional manner.
Reactions from Netizens...
@tboysquare said, "Maybe it was a stolen vehicle or they're armed robbers because I don't see why they'll be chasing someone like this."
@AriDonFX1 remarked, "This police people give armed robbery vibes 💔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I don't know if they give them training once in a while 💔🤣🤣see that man's eyes 👀 🤣🤣cash out don secure."
@sami_oamen inquired, "Why did the video stop there? Chai, I heard all of us here are military people....I missed the drama."
@Jefe_says expressed, "All these harassment, assault, and killings won't end until Nigerians start fighting back. The power in the people is stronger than the people in power."
@elmannygram voiced, "Policemen are very wicked and hateful people. They hate to see people win. You cannot look good, you cannot live good without being a suspect. The only way you're safe on the street is to look like a beggar with torn clothes."
@Abigailsam18 questioned, "@PoliceNG @Princemoye1 does it mean that the Nigerian police force can no longer afford official vehicles for the use of their staff on duty?"
@laraGold143 stated, "Police harassment is never justifiable. Ask them to recite the national anthem and watch them get an impersonator for that. Disgrace!"
