The video of a drunk Nigerian policeman sleeping in mud has surfaced and subsequently gone viral online and has got many Nigerians talking as they wondered the cause of the disgraceful act.

The video which was shared by PoliticsNGR, was reportedly recorded by some youths, after the cop was found staggering after he got himself drunk.

However, some Nigerians are defending him, saying the police officer might be having personal issues and resorted to drinking himself to stupor.

Others are slamming him for the act, saying it is a big disgrace to the Nigerian police.

They added that he should have gone somewhere else to get himself drunk, not in a public place.
