A man, Newton Isokpehi who identified himself as a serving police officer with 26 years of service has threatened to shoot dead anyone who records him while on duty, in a video.
In a clip that went viral on social media on Wednesday, Isokpehi spoke, issuing graphic threats against members of the public and any superior officer he believed had sanctioned the filming of officers on duty.
He delivered his threats in Pidgin English, after which our correspondent translated his statements into standard English.
Our correspondent traced Isokpehi’s TikTok account, bearing the name “Newton isokpehi for life” and the username #actor459, where he had posted several videos of himself in police uniform alongside personal content.
