POLICE BRUTALITY AGAIN: WHY VDM IS RIGHT TO DEMAND JUSTICE FOR LIVINUS NWOSU

This incident involving Livinus Nwosu is exactly why VeryDarkMan keeps saying Nigeria has a serious problem with law enforcement — and why many Nigerians no longer feel safe around those meant to protect them.

From the video alone, what we saw was disturbing. A man traveling peacefully with his family for Christmas was stopped, harassed, assaulted, and humiliated by individuals who clearly did not act like trained police officers.

One of them wasn’t even in uniform — half-naked, wearing boxers — yet confidently carrying out stop-and-search on a public road. That alone tells you everything about the breakdown of order in this country.

VDM’s reaction was immediate and correct. The moment he saw the video, he escalated it to the Police PRO and made it clear that this matter would not be swept under the carpet.

The facts matter:

– Officers searched a civilian’s phone — a practice the police themselves have banned.
– An officer without uniform participated in stop-and-search.
– A man was beaten in front of his family.
– His wife was reportedly assaulted.
– His child witnessed the humiliation of his father.
– Original vehicle documents were demanded — something no sensible person carries on the road.

VDM’s question cuts deep: how do you expect respect when you show up half-naked, lawless, and violent? Respect for authority comes from discipline — not intimidation.

This is not an isolated incident. It reflects a larger pattern of unchecked behavior by some officers who believe uniforms — or even boxers — give them power over citizens’ dignity.

When police officers ignore the Inspector General’s directives, they are not just abusing civilians — they are openly disrespecting the institution they serve.

Livinus Nwosu’s case is not just about one family. It represents thousands of Nigerians who have been beaten, extorted, or humiliated at checkpoints and were too afraid to speak.

VDM speaking up sends a clear message: if you touch one innocent Nigerian, you will answer for it.

This case must not be buried. Those officers must be investigated. And justice must be visible.

Peace and love.
Don’t play.
