The Delta State Police Command has arrested two men who appeared in a viral video smoking what appeared to be marijuana while sitting on a police patrol van and making obscene gestures at law enforcement officers.
The suspects, 34-year-old Patrick Asini and 20-year-old Tega Ojo, were picked up after the video surfaced on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), sparking widespread public outrage and prompting swift police action.
In the footage, originally shared by user @dammiedammie35, one of the young men is seen sitting atop a police patrol van bearing the inscription โNigeria Police Force Anti-crime Patrol, Oghara Division,โ while smoking.
Another voice in the background can be heard saying: โTell them, f*** the cops, bro. Pass me some weed, man,โ while flashing his middle finger towards an officer in the distance. (Punch)
