A trending video of a policeman who fell into a street gutter in Lagos has sparked widespread conversation online.
In the viral footage, the officer is seen at the bottom of the pit, struggling to climb out as bystanders gather around, peering inside to check on his condition. A ladder was later brought to help him out of the ditch.
However, the reaction from many social media users has raised questions — why are so many people seemingly amused or pleased by the incident? Could this reflect the public’s general sentiment toward the Nigerian police?
The video has been widely shared across platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter), with users flooding the comments section to express their thoughts and concerns.
