Another Case of Police Brutality: Popular Content Creator Omo Mummy, Siblings Assaulted by Nigerian Police in Ilogbo

In yet another disturbing incident of alleged police brutality, popular content creator Omo Mummy and his siblings were arrested, harassed, and physically assaulted by officers of the Nigerian Police Force in Ilogbo, Badagry, without any stated offense or provocation.

According to eyewitnesses and multiple online reports, the siblings were rounded up during a random raid, brutalized, and thrown into a police van — all while passersby recorded the ordeal.

“They didn’t commit any crime. No warrant. No explanation. They were beaten, handcuffed, and humiliated,” one eyewitness told journalists at the scene.

The video of the arrest quickly went viral on social media, sparking nationwide outrage and reigniting calls for police reform and accountability. The hashtag #JusticeForOmoMummy began trending within hours.

“We’re tired. The police force in this country is a danger to the people it’s meant to protect,” one user wrote.
“They’re begging for a revolution — and they’ll get one soon.”

Activists and civil rights groups say this is not an isolated case, but part of a growing pattern of unchecked police violence, extortion, and harassment, particularly targeting young Nigerians.

“Every week, there’s a new name. A new victim. The Nigerian Police will make this revolution come faster,” said one human rights lawyer.
“It’s not a question of if — but when.”

In a brief post on X (formerly Twitter) after being released, Omo Mummy wrote:

“I’ve never felt more helpless. They beat us like animals. No questions. No explanation. This country needs help.”

He confirmed that his younger brother was injured during the assault and is currently receiving medical attention.

As of the time of this report, the Nigerian Police Force has not issued any official statement regarding the arrest or the conduct of its officers in Ilogbo.

Repeated calls to the Lagos State Police Command went unanswered.

This latest case adds to a long list of abuse-of-power incidents, which many fear are pushing Nigeria closer to a national tipping point.

“The youth already protested once,” said a social commentator, referencing the 2020 EndSARS movement.
“But clearly, the lessons weren’t learned — and the system is still broken.”

Nigerians are demanding immediate answers and disciplinary action. Civil society organizations are calling for an independent investigation and compensation for Omo Mummy and his siblings.
