Disu had urged citizens to exercise restraint, saying the practice of recording officers could demoralise policemen, and asking Nigerians to allow them to concentrate on their duties.
But DeeOne believes the comment could have serious consequences if not carefully reconsidered.
‘Very soon, there might be another #EndSARS’
Reacting in a video shared on Instagram, the comedian warned that statements from the police leadership could contribute to renewed tension between officers and citizens.
“Very soon, there might be another #End SARS protest in Nigeria,” DeeOne said.
He recalled the role viral videos of alleged police misconduct played in the 2020 protest movement, arguing that citizens should be allowed to document encounters with officers in public places for accountability and safety.
DeeOne also questioned why Nigerians should not record officers when police body cameras could provide a similar form of documentation.
The comedian went further, sharing an experience at a police station where he claimed an officer was intoxicated.
He used the incident to argue that allowing citizens to document police encounters could help expose misconduct and protect both parties.
Addressing Disu directly, DeeOne said: “We no understand you. You are not doing well.”
He urged the IGP to stop making statements merely to impress members of the Force and instead work towards building stronger trust between the police and citizens.
