A video shared by VANGUARD newspaper on its official X account on Saturday, October 4, 2025, has sparked significant public outrage after a retired Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) made a startling confession about his involvement in escorting politicians to hide stolen public funds.
In the widely circulated clip, the retired police officer is seen among former colleagues, voicing his frustration over the non-payment of his retirement benefits. While lamenting the poor treatment of retired personnel, he revealed complicity in high-level corruption, stating that during his service, he and other officers were routinely tasked with providing security for politicians transporting embezzled public money to their home villages for concealment.
He expressed bitterness that despite such duties, he and fellow retirees now face undue hardship in accessing their entitlements.
According to the retiree, “We are the ones that escort politicians after they stole public money; we follow them to hide the money in their villages. Now, to pay us our entitlement is an issue.”
The video, which has since gone viral, has intensified ongoing conversations about corruption, accountability, and the treatment of retired security personnel in Nigeria. Many social media users have expressed shock at the admission, citing it as a rare public glimpse into systemic graft and the involvement of law enforcement in aiding the misuse of public resources.
The retired DSP’s statement has also drawn attention to the welfare of retired security personnel, with calls for improved pension administration and support for those who have served the nation. At the same time, the confession has amplified demands for thorough investigation and prosecution of individuals involved in corruption, whether in public office or within security agencies.
As reactions continue to pour in, the video stands as a stark reminder of the deep-rooted challenges facing governance and public integrity in the country.Continue, Full, Reading>>>>
