Video Allegedly Shows Group Linked to Vikings Cult Renovating Rivers Police Station
A video circulating on social media has sparked debate after a group reportedly associated with the Vikings confraternity was said to have renovated part of a police station in Rivers State.
The reported incident took place on October 15, 2026, at the Abuloma Police Station in the Trans Amadi area of Port Harcourt, according to information shared by anti-cultism advocacy platform Naija Confra.
The footage reportedly shows several people wearing red shirts alongside police officers during an event at the station. A banner bearing the inscription, “SAY NO TO CRIME & SOCIAL VICES,” is also visible in the video.
The group has been identified in the circulating account as the Trans Marine Platoon, allegedly linked to the Vikings confraternity, also known as De Norsemen Kclub International (DNKI).
However, the group’s alleged affiliation and the circumstances surrounding the renovation have not been independently verified. No official statement from the Rivers State Police Command confirming the reported event or explaining the nature of the group's involvement was available at the time of writing.
Social Media Questions Police Accountability
Naija Confra, which campaigns against cult-related violence, shared the footage while questioning whether police officers would take action against cult members if those individuals had contributed to renovating a police facility.
The post has prompted reactions online, with some users expressing disbelief and others raising concerns about the relationship between security agencies and groups accused of involvement in cult-related activities.
The central concern raised by the discussion is whether community contributions to police facilities are properly scrutinised and whether the same standards of law enforcement apply to everyone, regardless of their connections or financial contributions.
Renovating a public security facility does not, by itself, establish that a donor or participant has committed an offence. Any allegation of cult membership or criminal conduct would require credible evidence and appropriate investigation.
Rivers State's Fight Against Cultism
The reported incident comes amid continuing security concerns over cult-related violence in Rivers State and other parts of southern Nigeria.
Police authorities have repeatedly urged residents to provide useful information to help prevent violent crime and identify suspected offenders. In Rivers State, the police also announced the launch of a Violent Crime Response Unit in October 2026 as part of efforts to strengthen crime prevention and responses to serious offences.
The reported renovation has therefore raised questions about transparency, public confidence and how police-community relationships are managed.
As of publication, the Rivers State Police Command had not been independently confirmed to have issued a response specifically addressing the footage.
NovexNews will update this report if the police provide clarification on the renovation, the identity of the participants or any investigation arising from the incident.
