However, a Nigerian man who reacted to the video has expressed worry that what happened might be a set up.

According to @AFCdeAndre, it was suspicious that the police appear to have recorded the video.

His words:

"Funny thing here is, since when has Nigeria Police officers on duty start recording people? Why was the video recording starts at the altercation time? In the video amid the tension between both parties, the said offender still show his ID I think this is a setup."
