A Nigerian man has voiced his frustration after a police officer allegedly invaded his home without a warrant, scaled his fence, and accused him of fraud.
The incident, captured in a viral video on X (formerly Twitter), has sparked widespread outrage. In the footage, the man and his neighbors are seen confronting the officers, refusing to grant them entry by leaving the gate locked. However, the situation escalated when one of the officers fired a gunshot and proceeded to climb over the fence to access the property.
Once inside, the officer opened the gate, allowing his colleagues to enter the premises. The lack of proper procedure, such as presenting a warrant or any formal identification, raised serious concerns among viewers online.
The incident has drawn significant backlash on social media, with many condemning the police officers’ actions and questioning the state of law enforcement in Nigeria.

@IconGerrard: “The officer almost fell while jumping. Imagine if people were waiting to deal with him as he landed!”

@DrOzitababy: “Why didn’t they turn on the electric fence and send them to their maker? This country is a zoo.”
@n6oflife6: “No warrant. No IDs. No invitation. If someone defends themselves now, people will start making excuses. The Nigerian armed forces have gone rogue.”
@__adewale: “If you touch my fence like this, I swear you’ll regret it right there.”
The video has reignited discussions on the abuse of power and lack of professionalism among law enforcement in Nigeria, with many calling for accountability and reform.
