Nigeria Police frown at armed officers in Angela Okorie’s viral video; risks sactions

The Nigeria Police Force responded to the widely shared video showing armed police officers pursuing Nollywood star Angela Okorie as she jogged. 

In a statement released on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, Force Public Relations Officer Muyiwa Adejobi voiced his strong disapproval of the officers’ behavior, saying it did not meet the standards expected of NPF members.

The officers involved and the circumstances surrounding the video are still being investigated, the police assured.

The Force reaffirmed its dedication to maintaining discipline, professionalism, and public confidence. 

“The Nigeria Police Force strongly frowns at the conduct of armed police officers seen in a viral video trailing actress Angela Okorie while she jogged—an act considered clearly inconsistent with the professional standards and decorum expected of personnel of the Force,” the statement read.

“The incident, which appears to have occurred on or around a movie set, has also sparked widespread public concern and criticism.

“While it remains unclear whether the scene was part of a scripted production, the conduct of the officers seen in the video falls short of the standards expected of members of the Nigeria Police Force.

“Accordingly, necessary administrative processes have been initiated to identify the officers involved and determine the circumstances surrounding the video, while appropriate disciplinary action will be taken based on the outcome of the review.

“The Force remains committed to upholding professionalism, discipline, and public trust.”
