Hundreds of Nigerians are currently protesting in Ughelli, Delta State, against unchecked police brutality and extortion from Nigerian youths.

In a video of the protest seen by SaharaReporters, the protesters are calling on the leadership of the Nigeria Police Force, the Police Service Commission, and "all lovers of the country to rein in on police personnel who have turned themselves into armed robbers in uniform" with the backing of corrupt senior officers who share the loot with them.

@KomeNicee, who shared the video of the protest on social media, said that police brutality has become rampant in the state.

She wrote: "Heavy protest ongoing in Ughelli against police brutality which has become rampant!!"

Meanwhile, the Delta State Police Command has warned Nigerian youths to desist from the protest, insisting that no amount of their protest would deter the police from performing its constitutional duties.

The Command's spokesman DSP Edafe Bright, explained the reasons behind the ongoing protest.

"Regarding the ongoing protest in Ughelli, the Command wishes to inform of the public that yesterday 13th February 2024, policemen from Ughelli Area Command intercepted an uned Benz GLK without a plate number in Ekuigbo community. The men confronted the four boys who could not establish ownership of the car.

"In an attempt to arrest them, some of the youths attacked the police, destroyed their vehicle, and broke the head of one of the officers."

Following the unprovoked attack, Edafe said nine of the suspects were arrested, adding "they will be charged to court. Youths are advised to stay off any protest because it won't deter us from doing our job."

Police steal because they are not being paid well by criminal politicians.....protest against the root cause and not the act

25 years of uninterrupted pdp rule in the big heart state, nothing whatsoever to show for their loyalty.

Protest indeed, the faint imagination in the diary of mad men established on hypocrisy.

So you voted for buhari and Tinubu knowing fully well that Nigerians can't depend on them as presidents to better their lives and the economy of the country?


But why? Why vote for who you know can't help you in any way and is going to be useless to you?

Is it because of tribalism?

Delta people have started again ooo.

The statement by the police above is 100% correct. I was at the scene. It's my first time of seeing this authentic report from the police. Let's give them kudos.
I was at Ekiugbo when the policemen attached to Area Command from A division intercepted an Uned white GLK Benz with four yahoo boys. During the altercation, youths started attacking the police with stones from different directions. One of the police was badly injured on the head with blood gushing out. One of the suspects, their chairman escaped from their vehicle but they succeeded in taking the uned Benz to their station.

How did you know they were yahoo boys? By uned, you mean the car has no number plate?
If it was a politician, would they have apprehended him?
