The incident, which apparently occurred near Eko Bridge, was captured on film, with the driver, dressed in a police T-shirt and headgear, exchanging words with passengers.
In the viral video, one person could be heard saying:
‘’You talk say you want to k!ll us. You see wetin Nigeria police dey do. You dey follow full bus argue. You wan put us for water.”
An X-user who shared the video, wrote
“We were literally dropped in the middle of the road because the driver wanted to buy fuel, without any proper explanation or concern for our safety. When people understandably began to question what was going on, instead of calming the situation, he became aggressive and started issuing threats, saying he would k!ll us and dump our bodies into the water near Eko Bridge’’
Reacting on Tuesday, the NPF New Media Officer, CSP Aliyu Giwa, confirmed that the Force is reviewing the footage.
