The Nigeria Police Force says it has begun investigating a viral video showing armed police officers escorting businessman Linus Williams, popularly known as B-Lord.
This comes nearly a year after President Bola Tinubu, on November 23, 2025, ordered the withdrawal of police officers attached to Very Important Persons across the country and their redeployment to core policing duties.
The Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Ani Iniedu, described the escort as “unlawful and illegal” in a statement posted on his official X account on Wednesday.
Reacting to the video, he wrote, “Unlawful and illegal. Investigation has commenced into this incident, please. We say #notoimpunity.”
The video, posted by B-Lord on his Instagram page on Tuesday, shows him arriving at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu.
In the footage, B-Lord is seen in a black Cadillac bearing the personalised number plate “B-LORD”.
He wears a red-and-white striped traditional cap associated with the Kwankwaso political brand and is accompanied by armed police officers dressed in camouflage uniforms and tactical gear.
The video also shows him walking alongside the officers at the airport and at other locations, including what appears to be his business premises.
The officers are seen escorting him and opening the vehicle door for him.
B-Lord captioned the video, “Back to base, business as usual. From the airport to a brief stop at BlordGroup Enugu branch, then back to Awka. Every move has its purpose, and the vision never takes a break. Blord is home!”
In another post on Instagram, he said he was in Sabon Gari, Kano State, where he met his “brothers” before returning to Enugu.
