Nigerians have condemned the trending video of two mobile police officers threatening to “reduce two young men to nothing” for pleading with them to stop brutalising a commercial tricycle rider in Asaba, Delta State.

In a Facebook post by the good Samaritan, Prince Gwamnishu Harrison, he also said the policemen assaulted him and shared the video of all that transpired.

Prince Harrison also alleged that the policemen, Inspector Haruna Japhet and a sergeant with Service No: 462207, threatened his life.

The video had led to a serious backlash on the policemen whose identities were revealed. Facebook users condemned the act and lambasted the Policemen for treating citizens unfairly.

Some Facebook users also recounted similar antecedents in the hands of Policemen.

Meanwhile, Harrison has now alleged that he received a phone call from the tricycle rider.  He said the tricycle rider was arrested this afternoon and was asked by the Police to tell me to pull down the video which has 50,000 views, 608 shares and 156 400 comments.

He wrote,
