Man Desperately Tries To Explain He’s Sane After Being Raided With Mentally Ill

 A man in Nigeria was mistakenly rounded up during a police raid intended to remove mentally ill and homeless individuals from the streets. Videos circulating online show him desperately trying to defend his sanity and explain that he is not mentally unstable. He repeatedly made his case in Yoruba, pleading with the officers to understand that he was simply going about his day when they wrongfully profiled and detained him.

Although the clip has triggered humorous reactions across social media, many people have pointed out that the situation is far from funny when viewed from the man’s perspective. Being wrongly identified, humiliated, and taken away without a chance to properly explain himself is an experience no one would want to endure.

The incident has sparked widespread outrage, with Nigerians urging law enforcement to adopt proper verification methods during such operations to prevent innocent citizens from being detained. The man was filmed sitting on the ground amongst the mentally ill men and desperately trying to explain himself in Yoruba dialect.
