Suspected members of the De Norsemen Kclub International (DNKI), popularly known as the Vikings confraternity, have stirred fresh controversy after reportedly celebrating the construction of a police post in Kubwa, Abuja.
The development was brought to public attention by anti-cultism platform Naija Confra, which shared a video on its Facebook page showing men dressed in red outfits at what it described as the commissioning of the police post in the Kubwa Lina area of the Federal Capital Territory.
The video, reportedly recorded on Thursday, October 15, 2026, showed the men gathered at the facility as they celebrated the project.
The development has raised questions about the circumstances surrounding the construction of the police post and whether the project was officially approved by the relevant police authorities.
The Abuja incident comes amid controversy over a similar development in Rivers State, where a Divisional Police Officer (DPO) and another police officer were removed from their positions after suspected Vikings members reportedly celebrated the renovation of a police outpost.
The Rivers incident attracted attention after a video circulated online showing members of the confraternity in connection with the renovated facility, with police personnel also reportedly visible in the footage.
The Rivers State Police Command subsequently ordered an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the renovation and the involvement of the officers.
The action followed concerns over the propriety of allowing a group associated with a confraternity to be publicly linked to police infrastructure in a manner that could raise questions about the relationship between the group and the police.
The latest video from Abuja has now brought the issue back into the spotlight, with questions over whether the Kubwa project was undertaken with the knowledge and approval of the FCT Police Command.
Although members of the public and community groups can support the police by providing infrastructure and other assistance, such projects are expected to follow established procedures and must not compromise the independence or integrity of the police.
As of the latest available information, the FCT Police Command had not publicly confirmed the details of the reported construction or announced any investigation into the incident.
The police are expected to clarify who funded and authorised the project, the status of the facility and whether the commissioning ceremony was officially recognised.
The controversy has renewed calls for greater scrutiny of donations and infrastructure projects involving police facilities to prevent criminal or suspected criminal groups from using such gestures to gain public recognition or project influence.
