IGP orders urgent audit of police weapons after shocking video sparks nationwide anger.
A wave of outrage has swept across Nigeria following a disturbing viral video showing a police officer allegedly executing a handcuffed suspect.
In response, the Inspector-General of Police has ordered an immediate nationwide audit of all police arms, signaling a major attempt to restore accountability within the force.
The shocking footage has triggered intense public condemnation, with many Nigerians demanding justice and urgent reforms in law enforcement practices.
Authorities say the audit will focus on tracking weapon usage, enforcing operational discipline, and preventing further misuse of firearms.
However, critics argue that similar measures in the past have yielded little long-term change, raising questions about whether this will lead to real reform—or fade as another reactionary move.
