The career of a police officer may be hanging in the balance after a video circulating online captured him acting erratically in Asin Ekiti, Ikole Local Government Area of Ekiti State, allegedly from taking an illicit substance, Colos.
The footage showed the yet-to-be-identified officer holding and embracing a bench in an unusual manner, while rolling on the floor.
This attracted the attention of passersby and residents who gathered at the scene.
Eyewitnesses and local residents claimed the officer’s behaviour was a reaction to consuming a substance known locally as Colorado, often shortened to Colos.
The incident has since generated widespread concern, with residents calling for a prompt and transparent investigation as well as better psychological monitoring of officers.
