Why would they attack him? Is it that no one has the right to overtake a military convoy? Why wouldn't they stop him to know why he had to overtake them? I am waiting to read the press release of the Nigerian Army on this.

I think your comment is second to the worst i have read on this post. I don't type much, but try what the prof. did and see whether you will be alive to narrate your story.

To those of you trying to justify prof's action, please sell your pride and buy common sense.
And what crime did the prof commit here?
You probably fail to follow the story that the Military has already tendered apologies to the prof.

The Prof is a top Northern leader, killing him at this time won't be funny.

Boy, let us reason together. This is north east. Bauchi is a boko haram state. This is a military convoy, escorting sensitive materials. A region known for suicide bombers. What if it is bomb laden vehicle, and it overtakes and gets to the middle of the convoy and detonate? And this is a lonely village. And convoys don't drive in snail speed, they zoom. Why can't u, just for heaven's sake take it easy and go behind them at a reasonable distance. The prof will get to the university. He is the chairman, the meeting wount start till he gets there. He will just apologies, narrate what happened and commence the meeting.
Have u ever tried to overtake the mobile policemen escorting CBN currency movement? They will just shoot you and kill you andncontinue their journey.
Patience. Just patience.

These guys don't understand the meaning ofnational security, just leave them.
hotice01:


1.who was more arrogant,the Prof or the soldiers.The prof was arrogant cuz he thought "since I'm a Prof,I can overtake and nothing will happen to me".
2. YES THEIR MISSION IS MORE SENSITIVE AND IMPORTANT THAN THAT OF THE FOOLISH PROF BECAUSE IT INVOLVES LIVES DIRECTLY AND NATIONAL SECURITY.
3. Moving at night with such equipments only make them more vulnerable to attacks,
SOLDIERS ARE HUMANS,THEY HAVE FLESH AND BLOOD LIKE YOU.THEY HAVE FAMILIES, THEY FEAR DEATH ALSO BUT ARE COURAGEOUS ENOUGH NOT TO HIDE BEHIND THEIR KEYBOARDS AND TYPE RUBBISH IN TRYING TO SOUND SMART AND JUSTIFY STUPIDITY.

Who is the united state and what have they done to prove they are different?
Try this around the US military base when they are conveying sensitive hardware or weapons in Iraq or syria then come back and tell us the tale if you make it alive.
This so-called US soldiers aren't they the ones whose soldiers are severally charged of rapes and abuses in Iraq?
Back to the matter; the soldiers did what every soldier will do and even the professor knew he defaulted and was trying to justify it with lateness... If it were in the professors course lecture and you told him that you are coming late due to such incident will he give you a listening ears...?
Do you think if the soldiers were reckless the professor will still be alive?
The soldiers just spoilt the engine and others so they can verify before raining down bullets if it's truly and a confirmed threat.

Assuming any of the bullets hit him (God 4bid) you and I would be proving whether he committed any crime or not; and it would have ended in the same apology.
Maybe you need to ask those that lived in PH during the militancy era to educate you on how they use to comport themselves

I had a similar experience but in my case they nearly hit my car off the road.

I and a friend who was driving were returning from Lagos to Abuja we just passed a millitary check point and met a truck not knowing it was a millitary truck we overtook it only to realize there was a convoy of toyota hiluxs moving in slow motion. The truck which we overtook just sped and nearly brushed our car with the passanger warning us that he will deal with us.

You have just succeeded in saying thrash... This is a war ravaged zone where our men are been ambushed by suicide bombers on daily basis and you don't expect them to be proactive... Just because they are men on uniform doesn't mean they don't have blood flowing in their veins.... The problem with us in this country is that we speak through emotions and Sentiments instead of professionally...
The next person that will pull this stunt might not live to tell the story....

The military will always tender apologies for formality sake but if faced with the same scenario, they will take the same action and the next victim might not survive to tell the story... It's better to arrive late than to be late... He that has ears, let him hear.

This is an act of pure professional arrogance. What makes the soldiers think that their mission was more important than the mission of the professor?
If their mission was that sensitive, they should have moved at the dead of the night to avoid obstructing other road users. What if he was a professor of medicine rushing to the theater to save a life. These arrogant fools should be called to order.
If dem bomb them now,na u go de call dem useless soldiers;in as much I don't support their excesses.

You try to overtake a military convoy in boko haram sensitive zone.

Obviously,the prof is intelligent but not wise.
Every Nigerian knows U dare not overtake even a civil defence car esp when they are in a convoy,talk more of soldiers esp in these present times in d northeast.

CharlesPhc:
[b]Prof needs to attend a time management class again. How would you leave your home later than when it would take you to drive to your destination?
Ideyontop:
How can you overtake a military convoy,are you new in Nigeria?

sunnyshayne:

He should know better about certain things. He would had died and it would be termed suspected terrorist, reckless driving, accidental discharge etc.Where is Prof Festus Iyayi?

DesChyko:
So?
Is he not a Nigerian?
The militia have their rules.
He, an experienced man, should know that.

phlio:
y would he overtake d milltary...... knowing fully well that deh r on injection


[b]So many slaves of democracy, slaves of reality, slaves in Africa forming I too know

anytexy:
The man no get sense at all. They did that in self defense. That move is a reckless one. The soldier may think he is a suicide bomber that wants to attack them.

holyokoto:


It is not advisable to overtake a military convoy in security challenging areas. Many soldiers have gone because of this silly act. as in if it happened to be an insurgent that overtook them

Whatever the case may be, The military convoy did not have any rights under law to shoot anyone for overtaking their convoy

If the professor trailed behind the convoy for hours, these same set of idiotas will say he has a mission

And that's why police, civil defense and soldiers will continue to shoot, torture, maim, and even kill Nigerians unchecked

Quote me to insult me, let me lecture your fathers and mothers for transferring that slave mentality to you, if they have fought this mentality in their time, You lots will know it's wrong for any and every reason to shoot at a civilian driving past a convoy

The Professor is lucky to have escaped unhurt, he should know better that overtaking a military convoy is wrong,moreover he has a son who is a Colonel in the Nigerian Army.
