Edo State Commissioner of Police Monday Agbonika is under public scrutiny after a viral video showed a suspect, Emmanuel Egogo, also known as Eghogho, making threats against political opponents while in police custody. The incident occurred at the Edo State Police Command headquarters in Benin City. In the footage, Agbonika is seen standing nearby, apparently smiling, as Egogo speaks freely to journalists. The Edo State Police Command later issued a statement confirming Egogo's arrest in connection with unspecified criminal allegations. No details were provided about the nature of the charges or the investigation. Social media users expressed outrage over the video, with many questioning the commissioner's conduct and calling for Egogo to be questioned again. Some X users demanded that Agbonika explain why a detained suspect was allowed to make public statements without interruption. The police command has not responded to requests for further clarification on the circumstances surrounding the video or the status of Egogo's detention.
