LifestyleBacklash As Police Officer Mocks 25 Abducted Kebbi School girls
By Gideon Ayeni
A Nigerian police officer has sparked nationwide outrage after a disturbing video surfaced online showing him making careless and insensitive remarks about the 25 schoolgirls abducted in Kebbi State.
The officer, whose identity has not yet been made public, was captured on camera speaking casually about the fate of the kidnapped students. Comments many Nigerians have described as shocking, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable.
In the clip now circulating widely, he is heard saying:
“The 25 girls taken in Kebbi State are in trouble. They would be pregnant by now. God forbid I’m the one sent to rescue them.”

The statement, delivered with alarming nonchalance, immediately drew backlash from social media users who say such behaviour erodes public confidence in the police at a time when families are still grieving and praying for the safe return of their children.
Many Nigerians have demanded that the Police Force identify the officer and subject him to disciplinary action, arguing that no security operative should speak about victims especially children in such a degrading manner.

@_dchairman: “See the men that are paid to protect Nigerians”
@kennyd: Very insensitive thing to say. We don’t have properly trained armed forces in this country. Shame!
@iOccupyNigeria: “The sad part be say the man dey talk pure truth.
Na the country wey spoil reach like this make police officer fit open mouth yarn am like normal gist.
For any normal society, person wey talk this kain thing go lose im job before day break. For Nigeria, na just Friday”
@MOkpogode: “This isn’t fair.
This is wrong.
He is speaking ignorantly like any random Nigerian arguing in a restaurant, not someone on a duty post.
The excesses of social media users are becoming a disease.”
Security sources in Kebbi State maintain that efforts are still ongoing to track down the abductors and bring the girls home safely. The authorities have not yet responded directly to the video, but public pressure is mounting for an official reaction.
For now, the clip continues to fuel anger across the country, with many insisting that the police must address the officer’s conduct.
