The recent arrest of a police officer in Nigeria has sparked outrage on social media, with many users questioning the fairness of the Nigeria Police Force’s (NPF) actions. The officer was detained for disciplinary action after being filmed carrying bundles of cash and participating in the abuse of the naira with billionaire businessman Razaq Okoya’s sons.
While the NPF condemned the officer’s involvement, citing it as unethical, many netizens are demanding that the same treatment be given to Okoya’s sons, who were also involved in the abuse of the naira. The perceived double standard has led to accusations that the poor are being held accountable while the wealthy are let off scot-free.
This incident highlights the ongoing concerns about corruption and unequal treatment in Nigeria. The NPF’s response has been seen as inadequate, with many calling for greater accountability and transparency in the handling of such cases.
