The Nigeria Police Force has responded to a disturbing viral video that shows some of its officers forcefully entering a private residence in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, sparking outrage and allegations of attempted robbery.
The video, which surfaced online over the weekend, was posted by a user identified as Michael (@MichaelFrosh32) on X (formerly Twitter).
The footage, filmed from an upper-floor vantage point, captured a group of police officers allegedly attached to the Operation Flush team, aggressively gaining access into a residence in the Adebayo area of the state capital.

In his post, Michael raised an alarm, claiming the officers were staging a “daylight robbery.” He tagged the Nigeria Police Force and called for urgent disciplinary action, urging the authorities not to overlook what he described as an act of impunity.
The short clip has since gone viral, with netizens expressing fear over growing incidents of unlawful police entries. Some users likened the conduct to home invasions, while others urged the police hierarchy to identify and sanction the officers if found guilty of misconduct.
In a swift response, the Nigeria Police Complaint Response Unit acknowledged the video and assured the public that the matter would be investigated.
Using its official X handle, the unit reached out directly to Michael, requesting further details that could help in launching a full inquiry into the incident.
The response read: “Dear #MichaelFrosh32, kindly provide more details via DM, thank you for bringing this to the attention of the Police Force. #NoToImpunity.”
