The Delta State police command has denied claims made by a Nigerian woman that her Ghanaian/German husband was assaulted by some men of the state police command along the Agbor-Benin expressway.
In a video that has gone viral, the woman said during a stop and search exercise, the officers found her husband’s camouflage trousers, which they said are against the law.
She mentioned that an argument ensued and one of the officers assaulted her husband by holding him by the neck.
However, the spokesperson of the command, SP Bright Edafe reacted to the viral video by saying the claims made by the woman were false and baseless.
“On the 8th of May 2025, policemen of the command, while on stop-and-search duty along the Agbor-Benin Express Road, intercepted a commercial Sienna vehicle carrying about seven occupants.
The occupants and their luggage were subjected to a search, but this did not go down well with the Nigerian woman who recorded the video, and she started insulting and harassing the policemen.
Delta Police Calm and Professional
As seen in the video, the police were calm and professional despite all her provocative comments. Her claim that the policemen assaulted her husband is false and a deliberate attempt to paint the image of the police force in a bad light.
Furthermore, in the video, she was calling out the Facebook community and the social media community, which implies that she was aiming at creating content,’’ he said.
