I met Chidi in 2019 during NYSC in Kano. We were both broke corpers sharing one room and one pot of garri. He became the brother I never had. We swore nothing would come between us. Fast forward to 2024, I landed a good job in Lagos and pulled him along. Big mistake.
Good morning sir @TunjiDisu1,
It was reported that you ordered the DPO of Satellite Town, Lagos, to bring the officers involved in that disgraceful viral video to Abuja on Wednesday, 8th April 2026, for disciplinary action.
Let’s be very clear Nigerians are tired of hearing about “disciplinary actions” that nobody ever sees. For years, it has been the same empty routine: noise in the media, then silence, and suddenly the same officers are back on the streets harassing citizens like nothing happened.
This time, it must be different.@PoliceNG@PoliceNG_CRU
We demand that this disciplinary process be televised live on social media. Let Nigerians see real accountability for once not another round of “audio punishment” with no visible consequences.
Anything short of transparency will only reinforce the belief that nothing ever truly happens to erring officers.
This is not too much to ask. Nigerians are watching.
Have a good Easter, but more importantly, take action that proves your leadership is not business as usual.

If I were given ₦10 million, I would choose to go for Hajj and seek Allah’s blessings rather than focus on building material wealth for my children. I believe that sincere prayers in the holy land can open doors for their success and secure their future.”Nkan to tini loju ju ole lo ninu Ayé yi ko koja esin Islam ☪️
Moderate but also dangerous but at least baba lagege has been exposing extremist ideology to us since 2020..... if every cleric can be honest then maybe we will let you practice your Islam around us....
