LAGOS MAY 21ST (NEWSRANGERS)-A man, Newton Isokpehi who identified himself as a serving police officer with 26 years of service has threatened to shoot dead anyone who records him while on duty, in a video.
In a clip that went viral on social media on Wednesday, Isokpehi spoke, issuing graphic threats against members of the public and any superior officer he believed had sanctioned the filming of officers on duty.
He delivered his threats in Pidgin English, after which our correspondent translated his statements into standard English.
Our correspondent traced Isokpehi’s TikTok account, bearing the name “Newton isokpehi for life” and the username #actor459, where he had posted several videos of himself in police uniform alongside personal content.
The video at the centre of the controversy was subsequently deleted from the page, though the account remained active as of the time of filing this report, with earlier posts of him in uniform still visible.
The PUNCH could not independently verify whether Isokpehi is a serving member of the Nigerian Police Force.
“Any day I’m on duty as a police officer, carrying my rifle and doing my job, let somebody come and video me. That oga who gave you people the order to video us, he will go and do your burial. He will bury you. The number of you that I kill, he will be the one to bury all of you,”
