A disturbing video has recently gone viral on social media, showing a Nigerian police officer clinging to the bonnet of a speeding car, with the driver refusing to stop.
The incident, which has caused an outcry on social media, reportedly took place in Benin City, Edo State, and involves a police officer being carried at high speed on the bonnet of a Benz car. The driver, a young man identified as a ‘Benin boy,’ can be seen ignoring the desperate calls for him to stop the vehicle, as he speeds through the streets with the officer still clinging to the front of the car.
The video, which has since garnered thousands of views and the police officer, visibly holding onto the car’s bonnet, appears to be in a dangerous situation as the vehicle accelerates through the area.
The exact circumstances leading up to the bizarre scene remain unclear, but It is not uncommon for disputes between citizens and law enforcement officers to escalate, sometimes resulting in violence or confrontations.
Since the video surfaced online, it has quickly gone viral, sparking outrage among Nigerians. Social media users have criticised the driver for his reckless behaviour, with many questioning the officer’s response to the situation.
