Nigerian comedian and actor Ijoba Lande has accused operatives attached to the Area “J” Division of the Lagos State Police Command of allegedly assaulting him, confiscating his mobile phone and stealing cash said to belong to his brother.

A video circulating widely on social media shows the entertainer with visible facial injuries, including blood stains around his eyes, while onlookers poured water on his face in an attempt to assist him.

The footage also features scenes from a location believed to be a police facility, where Ijoba Lande appeared to be reporting the incident after the alleged attack.

Speaking on the incident, the skit maker claimed it occurred just six days after his return to Nigeria from the United Kingdom.

He, however, did not provide specific details about the exact location or events that led to the confrontation with the police officers.

Ijoba Lande alleged that the officers physically assaulted him, seized his iPhone 16 Pro Max and made away with $1,200 in cash belonging to his brother.

The popular content creator, known for his comedy skits and roles in Yoruba Nollywood films, said the experience has left him traumatised as he seeks redress over the alleged misconduct.

As of the time of filing this report, the Lagos State Police Command had yet to issue an official response, while the full circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear.
