Rufai Oseni Challenges Police on Viral Saluting Video

Rufai Oseni, a news anchor for Arise Television, responded to a viral video that surfaced on Wednesday, which depicted police officers saluting a large group of armed men previously labeled as bandits. In a segment on Arise Television's morning show, Oseni expressed disbelief at the police's statement issued on Thursday, which attempted to clarify the situation by stating that the armed men were vigilantes.

He emphasized that Nigerians are not "daft" and possess the intelligence to discern the reality of the situation. Oseni criticized the notion that police would salute individuals carrying sophisticated weapons, questioning the integrity of the police force and their ability to recognize genuine threats.

His remarks reflect a growing skepticism among the public regarding the police's handling of security issues in Nigeria.
